    We are saddened to hear of Irene’s passing. There are many great memories of Eucre tournaments up at the cottage with Irene’s dry wit and Ralph’s chuckle a constant source of entertainment for all.
    They were good days with good people. You will be missed Irene. Now Phyl George and Ralph have their fourth.

    My condolences on the passing of a lovely lady inside and out. I had the pleasure of calling Irene a friend after years of attending exercise at Parkwood. Even in palliative care her big smile lit up the room the last time I saw her. On behalf of the participants, volunteers and staff at Parkwood – Irene will be remembered fondly.

    Doug, Donald, Debbie
    My sincere condolences to you all.
    Robin was digging into some history and irene’s name popped up.
    At the first of the pandemic I tried to telephone your mother, but was unable to get thro. I am sorry now, I didn’t try harder. We had an excellent friendship in the good old days, mostly over raspberry jam and tarts at the cottage! It would be nice to say hi to you kids again. I am in the same house, and cottage.
    My sympathy to you, marjorie hill.
