I had the pleasure of working with Irene for the first eleven years of my teaching career. Irene and I were a well oiled machine. I had such love, respect and great affection for her. She was wonderful with the children and was always so supportive. When I left the classroom we would occasionally meet for dinner or chat on the phone. She was loved and will be missed! Deb Baker
