Faye I am sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. Pat and I were talking about the old Byron days the other day and fondly remembered your Mom.

I have many happy memories of Irene when I was a TOPS member for many years. I will always remember her, and for the family, I am sorry for your loss.
Dear Faye, sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
The “Schroeds” Family
Faye and family. I knew your Mom for just a short time, but she became one of my dearest friends. I enjoyed the time I spent with her and feel as If I know all of you from all the wonderful stories she shared of you all growing up. She talked fondly of her early days with your Dad as well.
It was my pleasure to spend the time with her that I did. I will miss her with all my heart. My son Robbie loved to visit with her and she always had a chocolate bar in her drawer for him.
May God bless her and all of you…..Rhonda Burt(was a resident of People Care with your Mom)
It was pure joy caring for Irene at PeopleCare. She had a loving and generous spirit. I could always count on her for a smile or hug. She will be so deeply missed. Prayers for her family and friends.
I was saddened to hear of Irene’s passing. I was a member of TOPS for many years and have fond memories of our friendly weight recorder. We had many great times and shared lots of laughs together especially at several of our conventions. R.I.P. Irene
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 don’t know you and I don’t think you know me but I saw Ireme’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
To all of Irene’s children , I just heard of your Mom’s passing. I’m so sorry I didn’t get to visit her as I thought I would have a chance to. I did your Moms hair for years 1967 -1997 when I lived on Blake St. So may fun times with her she was a very generous and kind lady. She always had a treat for my sons when she came over and always made sure they behaved when going into the variety store. She was one of a kind . Please know that I’m thinking of you . Maureen
