Irene and my Mom were the best of friends, I can't recall a time when they weren't. She was a lovely person, caring and genuinely nice with a kind heart. She will be forever in our memories. - Posted by: Andy and Leslie Taylor (Friend ) on: Dec 28, 2013

To the family of Irene, You do not know me except possibly by a card left with your Mom. I visited her for two years on behalf of St. Mary's Road United Church. Your Mom reminded me of my mother with her white hair and sedate presence when I would visit her. Mom also spent her last years in a PCH, Golden Links Lodge. Mom was also a teacher and held a lifelong membership in the Eastern Star. On one visit I mentioned the royal family and several times brought some of Mom's books to look at. I was looking for a place for them after Mom died and that was a perfect place for them. I had a call from SMRUC to attend at the funeral however I am in BC with family. I would have liked to meet Irene's family. My regards to you. Margaret Wilcock - Posted by: Margaret Wilcock () on: Dec 22, 2013
