    Irene we will always remember you for
    your cheerfulness and dedication in
    serving our Lord. The photo in the newspaper is exactly how we remember
    you in life. May our Lord bring comfort
    to your loved ones left behind for now.

    Barry, Brian and Loreen…my heart goes out to you all as you say good-bye to your mom. So many wonderful memories from our youthful days of the Doan family and especially of your mom’s smile. Days like you face today seemed like an eternity away when we were teens yet now we stand with you at eternity’s doorstep, letting go of someone who meant so much, who played such an integral role in each of your individual journeys. No one can replace a mother’s love in our lives but I pray that her love will remain firmly rooted in your hearts and minds in the days ahead…until you meet her again on the other side of eternity’s door. Both your parents have left a Godly legacy in their three kids which continues to manifest in your children as well. How proud they both were of all of you. Praying for God’s peace and assurance in the days ahead. Hugs…Donna

    Irene was a wonderful courageous and strong woman who always had a smile for those around her. Irene and Ron both were mentors for me as I walked with a friend through the kidney dialysis process. She offered advice and words of encouragement to myself and my friend.

    Dear Brian, Barry, Loreen and families.
    Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort in this time of sorrow.
    I will always remember Irene’s smile and kind words. It was clear how proud she was of her family.

    You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived. You can close your eyes and pray that she will come back Or you can open your eyes and see all that she has left. Your heart can be empty because you can’t see her Or you can be full of the love that you shared. You can turn your back on tomorrow and live yesterday Or you can be happy for tomorrow because of yesterday. You can remember her and only that she is gone Or you can cherish her memory and let it live on. You can cry and close your mind, be empty and turn your back Or you can do what she would want: smile, open your eyes, love and go on. You can shed tears that she is gone Or you can smile because she has lived I do not know you and you do not know me but I saw Irene’s obituary and would like you to know that I am praying for you, her relatives and friends, at this time Please get in touch with me at [email protected] to let me know how I may pray more specifically. Thank you. Emory Ediger
