The news of the death of Irene called back many memories among now retired Drake faculty of Irene's involvement in Drake Dames and how she made newcomers feel welcomed at Drake. The news also brought back memories of Bill's devotion to her and the love they shared. After several years, the lives of retired faculty and their spouses and the contributions they made to University life too often are forgotten as new students and new faculty have had no contact with them. But Irene and Bill will long be remembered and appreciated by the colleagues and students privileged to have known them.
Herb Strentz, dean emeritus of the Drake School of Journalism.

May God console the love ones because of this great loss , as we await the time when the death will be no more (Revelation chapter 21 verse 4).
