I had the pleasure of knowing Irene when I was employed by the Niagara Falls Red Cross and she as a volunteer. She shared with me her life stories; especially those related to the National Red Cross earlier in her life. What a remarkable woman. And locally, her dedicated Red Cross contribution in leading our volunteer crew that assisted our veterans at the VA Hospital in Buffalo was much appreciated by us and the men and women who served. She had an impact on all of those she met and will be missed. My condolences to her family.

Marilyn: I read with sadness the news of your mother's passing. She had a long life with more than it's share of tribulation Her perseverance is something to be very proud of. She sounds like a wonderful woman. I hope your many memories and the love of family will sustain you during your time of grief. With Love, your former Lewiston-Porter classmate, Laurie Hewitt
