Grannie Annie, thanks for all of the great memories; playing kickball in the back yard, chasing off the mean boys in the neighborhood and catching crawl dads in the stream. So blessed to have had such a feisty and funny great grandmother. We love you and will miss you.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I worked with Irene years ago. She was awesome to be around, always pleasant, funny, and smiled a lot. She was very respected thru-out the hospital and I really loved working with her.

The passing of a dear loved one, is a difficult experience for family members. Sorry for your loss. It is through the privilege of prayer, that the family can experience God’s love and comfort in the most intimate way. May the family find comfort through prayer to Jehovah, “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comforts us in all of our trials”. 2 Corinthians 1:3, 4.
