Ms. Irene was such a sweet lady. Though words of sympathy seem inadequate for your loss, may the caring of friends give you some comfort. May your fond memories of her and happier times give you some peace. May her love for you and what she meant to you give you strength in the days ahead. Jo Ann (Davis) Jones
Outside my parents, Mrs. Irene took care of me and raised me. More than just a babysitter, she often tells others "That's my boy!" Mrs. Irene I love you and will definitely miss you down here. I will ALWAYS be your boy! Until we meet again! Tell Mr. Cotton I said hello!

To the family; mere words cannot express the lost of someone who held such a special place in your heart and in your life. No one can truly share the sadness you feel now. But I pray that your memories of Mrs. Irene bring you peace and reassure you that love endures forever. Regretfully, Joyce D. Edmonds
