I nteligencia y hermosura, esas 
   fueron tus cualidades
R ealmente fuistes una gran 
    madre, gran Esposa y gran 
    Ser humanoid.
E n medio de la adversidad 
    superadded el miedo.
N unca dejastes de creer y de 
     confuse,  fuistes y seras un 
     ejemplo  a seguir para tu 
    familia.
E n el cielo necesitaban un
    Angel como tu, ya eres parte
    del Coro celestial.

Irene,
It's been a pleasure knowing you for the last 16 years.  You were always so full of energy and brightened my day with your kind words.  You will be missed.  May you rest in peace in heaven.  If you happen to see Dora, please say hello for me.  I miss her, too!!

I am eternally grateful to you for the friendship and kindness extended when I joined AltaMed. I know that I am a better person for having met you and witnessed the example of your exemplary leadership.  I will remember always your honesty, humor, passion for serving our patients and staff.

Thank you for all your help and guidance with West Covina. Your kind heart, smile, and generosity will truly be missed. May you rest in peace

I had the pleasure of working with Irene for many years. Always full of energy, kindfullness, and life. This is a great loss but in the arms of God you may gently rest now. You will truly be missed. 
Our deepest condolensces to the Avelar family from all of us at MPS X-ray.

Irene, Thank you for your Friendship and Guidance, you have forever touched my life. I will miss seeing your smile at meetings or gatherings.
I thank GOD for crossing my path with yours. Thank you for everything.

Thank you for your guidance,support and friendship.Thank you for being a great mentor and inspiration to many of us. I will truly miss you..

Irene you were such a fun character to work with!  You were and I bet still are a huge advocate for your patients You touched the lives of many and will live on through us.  You are deeply missed.  My heart and thoughts go out  to your family.

Dear Irene,

I love the way you love. Family always came first.
Your patients and staff were ever present in your heart.
Doing the best you could was always a part of you.
You knew how to take care of others with love and compassion. 
Your dedication and commitment to love is to be admired and strived for. 
You knew how to be a friend; how to listen; how to see what was needed; and how to be a great leader.

Thank you Irene for everything you are and how you blessed us all.

I will miss you, but you will always be alive in our hearts, always.

Stella

Your friendship and guidance gave me so much strength. I will forever miss you.
I will try my best to be a fearless leader like you were to all the staff at AltaMed West Covina.  Love always..

Irene, you will always hold a very unique place in my heart. Your words, advice, regañadas and kind gestures have impacted my life immensely. Words will never describe how blessed I am to have you as a friend. I'm sure you know I love you. Irene please tell Dora I miss her so much. Un dia te vere. Se portan bien en el cielo.

Irene, I remember the many years we worked together at Commerce and with my change in position at West Covina and have always admired your assertiveness and commitment to your staff and clinics. I will miss your always timely feedback.

"Irene I will never forget the friendliness and kindness that you offered me when I meet you in 2009 when I joined AltaMed. You are loved by all who knew you. Rest in peace my dear friend."
Elizabeth Saavedra (HuntingtonBeach, CA)

My sincere condolences to Irene's family. I am grateful to have worked with her at the Commerce clinic.  She was a beautiful person and devoted a great deal to the staff and the patients we care for.  She will be greatly missed by her AltaMed family.

Irene left an imprint on my life and the lives of so many others.  Her passion for people was inspiring, her will and spirit admirable.  Her legacy will live on in the hearts of so many who were fortunate to know her and love her.

The last time I sat with Irene was over a pupusas dinner that Gustavo had purchased for my visit. Irene said she'd ask Gustavo to bring more cheese pupusas next time (because they were my favorite). Gustavo should share the pupusas location because they were delicious! An evening full of laughter, memories and chisme is one that I will always remember. My originally planned 2 hour visit became a 5 hour visit. I love talking to that woman. 

Irene and I became close when we both suffered the loss of a wonderful friend. The grieving was a little easier because I wasn't in it alone. Although at this time I feel alone she would always tell me "Ay mujer... Estas loca. You know better." I can't say I'll grieve easier but I know that you are now in a better place. Without pain... I will leave my selfishness aside and be happy to know that you get to enjoy heaven. But I know that just like me, there are so many that miss you and are saddened to have lost such a beautiful friend.   

Irene, you will always hold a very unique place in my heart. Your words, advice, regañadas and kind gestures have impacted my life immensely. Words will never describe how blessed I am to have you as a friend. I'm sure you know I love you. Irene please tell Dora I miss her so much. Un dia te vere.


God's Beautiful Garden

God looked around the garden,
and found an empty space.
He looked down upon the earth,
and saw your tired face.

He put his arms around you, 
and lifted you to rest.
God's garden must be beautiful,
for he only takes the best.

He knew that you were weary,
and he knew that you were in pain.
He knew that you would never,
be well on earth again.

He saw the roads were getting rough,
and the hills were hard to climb.
So he closed your weary eyelids,
and whispered peace be thine.

Irene, you will always hold a special place in my heart. You were more than a supervisor to me – you were a friend and mentor. I will always cherish our memories together. Remember that time you bought lunch for everyone at the clinic that Saturday, because you would say, "If I am going to give to one person, I am going to give to all." You were always so generous to everyone you met. I am blessed to have known you and will continue to do my best to make you proud. Your legacy will continue through your family and the work you put into your facility at West Covina. There are no words to describe what an impact you have made – all I can say is thank you, Irene, for everything. I love you and will miss you every day.

You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for your guidance and your trust. I will miss you tremendously.

The last time I sat with Irene we ate Pupusas that Gustavo had purchased because I was coming over. In case Irene didn't tell you Gustavo, She said she'd ask you to bring more cheese next time. An evening full of laughter, memories and chisme was one I will never forget. My originally planned 2 hour visit became a 5 hour visit. Irene and I became close after dealing with the loss of a wonderful mutual friend. Grieving with the process at the time made it a little easier because I wasn't in it alone. Irene my heart hurts but I also know that you are at peace alongside Dora and that makes things for me a little easier. I know I'm no longer alone (You've reminded me of that several times)... Thank you for opening your heart and home to me. Words will never expain what a blessing it is to call you a friend. I love you, I miss you and until we meet again please tell Dora I miss her. Irene I will always hold you close to my heart.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched, but are felt in the heart.”

" Irene I remember the first time we met in West Covina you were extremely busy and yet you took the time to introduce yourself to me you gave me a brief tour and you welcomed me to your facility. Thank you. May you Rest In Peace.

"Irene, may you rest in peace.  I'll always have you in my thoughts and prayers.  Your dedication and leadership will be missed in our AltaMed familia.  May god give your family strength and peace in their hearts."

You are not just  a co-work and you're a friend, wherever you are you will always in my heart.

I admired Irene's strength, her intelligence and her passion for the employees and the patients at West Covina Clinic. I will always remember her sense of humor and laughter. Irene is a credit to AltaMed and human kind. May God Bless Irene and her family.   Max Arbolida

I have been trying to find the exact words that can express how I feel with the departure of my lovely wife...the truth is those words do not exist.....all I know it hurts so much is hard to explain.  But knowing the journey you went thru, after all the obstacles that you encountered,  all the pain you suffered during the treatments, I know that God is merciful and called you to his kingdom so you can now rest in peace and have eternal life in heaven. We will miss you and love you forever.

Irene you were a great friend and a great mentor.  You always greeted me with open arms and I loved you for that.  Thank you for being such a great friend.

Rest In peace

Roberto De Leon

Que Dios la tenga en su Santa Gloria y se regocige en su presencia. Todos Los miembros de la familia Sanchez tuvieron el placer de conocerla y de tenerla como miembro mas de nuestra familia. En lo personal la trate poco por no vivir en CA, pero me di cuenta lo buena y servicial que fue en vida. Gracias a Ella mi hijo tuvo una madrina y fue una gran mujer que nos deja el legado de lucha, compasion, Amor y sobre todo que la familia Es lo primero. Gracias Irene por haber sido una gran mujer y ejemplo. Que Dios la reciva y que su alma descanse en paz. Hasta pronto Irene!!!

I met Irene when I joined AltaMed in 2000 and I always valued her direct-matter-of-fact professional style. Personally, she was my friend and I will miss her. I am comforted knowing that she is at peace with God. May Gustavo and his children find comfort in their memories of such as wonderful woman.

Dearest Irene,you shall always be remembered as a very special member of our AltaMed family. Thank you for 16 wonderful years of dedication, leadership and commitment to our mission. You were an amazing Clinic Administrator at Commerce and West Covina clinics. It was always a pleasure to work with you. May you be resting peacefully with God and all the angels. Affectionately, Marie S. Torres, Ph.D.

May God have you in heaven.  Rest in peace.

Words can't describe how deeply saddened I am to loose my amazing mother. Mom you truly are the best, not because you are my mother, but because you showed me all the essentials I need to survive. You loved me unconditionally and I felt your love everyday. All our memories we have together I will cherish, and you will continue to live through me. I promise to make you proud everyday and fulfill your wish. You are with the angels now and your journey is just beginning. No more suffering, no more pain. Reunite with grandma and watch over us. I love you.

It's hard to express in words what I feel for Irene passing. She represented a strong, honest and caring woman. May God give her family strength to endure her absence.
Sincerely,Carmen Garcia

Irene was extremely helpful and cordial. She helped us with HB when there was no CA and was really good.  My prayers for her and her family. 
Descanse en paz!
