To Irenes Family: I saw in the Reporter about your Moms passing. Your mom and dad were wonderful friends of my parents, Geno and Armida Selmo. I didn't realize your mom had moved away. I just wanted to express my sympathies in the loss of your mom. I recently lost my Dad as well this past April and my Mom in 2001. Its a very sad time when we lose the people who mean so very much to us in our lives but you will have wonderful memories. Thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time.

I work at Bronson Lakeview Family Care and first met Irene when she moved here to help with grandkids. She always brightened my day and I loved to see her name on my schedule. She was due for an appointment yesterday and I knew when she didn't come that something was amiss. She was a dear, dear lady and I will miss her. May God comfort you all at this time. Mary
