I will miss Irene forever. I first met her several years ago in London. Once both she and I moved to Bayfield I was able to spend many hours with her. Sometimes it was just in conversation but most often it was over a Bridge hand while enjoying a glass of wine.
I always found her to be interesting and a superb teller of fascinating life stories.
I will miss her presence at Christmas , Easter, Thanksgiving, and every possible celebration that I was so lucky to share with her. I told her as often as possible how she enhanced my life by her presence, to which she nearly always replied, "Is that so?", followed by her beautiful smile.
She was gracious to the end of her life even wanting to be socially proper when she no longer had the strength to do so.
What a uniquely wonderful lady she was and I am the better for having sharing time with her.
