I love you and miss you so much Mrs. Irene. I miss seeing you first thing in the morning and hearing your sweet voice. You allways put everyone else first no matter what you were going through and you are one of the strongest people I've ever met. There will never be another like you. Rest in peace sweet beautiful lady. Love Trish
