My sympathy for Irene's family. I remember her well as she attended my wedding in 1971 while visiting Calif. She was known to me as Aunt Irene while married to my Uncle Bill. My parents Mary Kay and Pete often visited her while in D. M. My last visit with Irene was 2010 and she remembered us.
Fond memories of her,
Nemer and Kris Murr
