Paula and Bob Reed
I was so blessed to have Irene for an aunt. I have so many wonderful memories especially in later years when Gary and I visited. I loved having a “little drinkie” on the deck with the beautiful autumn leaves and Irene fussing about making sure everyone was taken care of. The world is a sadder place without her. Much love to you, Alan and I'm so sorry for your loss.
