Giselle & family,
Aunt Irene was always there for us. An aunt everybody wished for. We grew up with her in our life on a daily basis as we were 2 houses away. Will cherish it all in my heart. Dad must have been there at the gate to greet her.

Giselle, my heart goes out to you. Remembering our conservation a couple of weeks ago about the loss of my mother, it was actually very comforting to me. I pray that you find comfort, if not now....in the future.
