Of my four aunts, Irene was always my favorite. One of my best memories was when Irene invited several friends of mine to dinner in her home a few years ago. I'll never forget how, as we traveled home after a delightful evening with Irene, one friend (who was in her late 60's at the time) said how she wanted to grow up to be just like Irene--we all agreed. You'll be missed by many, Irene.
