God is so good. He knew she needed to be relieved of her pain. He knew she was ready, it was time. Please know my thoughts are with you as you adjust to a "new normal" without her but a thankful heart that she is "home."

Irene and Guenter have been dear friends since we met in Germany in 1957. Im sure my parents are rejoicing to welcome her to heaven! So glad you were with her when she passed into the arms of Jesus.
Diana, you were the joy of her life!
