My heart goes out to your family in this sad time. It is not easy to lose one's mother. Irene is a part of several of my childhood memories. She taught me how to knit in 4-H. I am a knitter and often think of her as work on a project. Knitting has brought me many hours of joy and contentment. May you all take comfort in the many memories you have of your mother.

To the family of Irene:
You are all in my prayers. It has been many years since I have seen any of you, but seeing as most of you are here in Paw Paw, I may see you daily and just don't recognise you, and you probably wouldn't recognise me when I'm not in the big yellow bus that you rode to school daily. You mom was a great lady and I always enjoyed the many conversations we had. I am truly sorry that I was not able to get to visitation or the funeral service. I sure would have liked to see each of you. May God be with each of you. Blessings---Laurel and Dale Sherburn

To the Graham Family, May each of you find comfort in knowing that God is "near to those that are broken at heart; and those who are crushed in spirit he saves." (Psalm 34;18) He has promised to soon "swallow up death forever...and wipe the tears from all facs." (Isaiah 25;8) Take care,
