    I knew Irene almost from the time I was a small boy. She was my second cousin.Her husband Ernest was the best man in my fathers wedding in 1936. She had a long and wonderful life.

    What a lovely service. I really enjoyed hearing about your mom. Her favorite things being making birthday cakes and the state fair.
    It was a great learning idea about the gloves. Putting them together when you take them off, so if you lost them someone would get a pair of gloves. Sorry for you lose. Friends Julie and Ron
