Aunt Irene was such a wonderful woman! I have such happy memories of all our wonderful family get togethers. She was very special to me. I chose her to be my sponser for my confirmation. She was always so much fun to be around. Her laughter filled the room. Her love and her kindness will live on in her beautiful family. All my love always, Loren and Richard Varian (Hopewell Jct., NY)
