No Calling Hours
I was hoping to see you again. I’m truly going to miss you. Say hi to Ron for me. Verdia told me of your passing.
Love Joan
I am certainly going to miss my nice next door FL neighbor. RIP Irene and condolences to her family.
We are so very sorry to hear of our FL neighbors passing. Bless her heart she lived to be 100 yrs old. She was a beautiful caring lady who loved everyone. And she was very independent. We had some really good conversations with our Miss Irenie. Valued her knowledge. Our thoughts and prayers to Pam and family and Ron.
I am so sorry to hear about Irene’s passing. Pam, Ron and family, please accept my sincerest sympathy and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers.
