Aunt Irene, I was there at the church when you and Uncle Art were married. It was my first wedding I had attended and it was like a fairy tale love story. You always made me feel very special and you came to our special events as we were growing up. Even though you were sick, you and Uncle Art always sent cards to my family events. I will always remember the time and devotion you and your family had to your parents, my grandparents, Nanny and Pap, when they were sick and the wonderful and loving care you provided to them. I always admired the love affair you and Uncle Art share for almost your entire life. You have two wonderful and kind children, Lori and Billy who we admire as cousins. You were a wonderful, special, thoughtful Aunt and I will miss you! Your loving nephew, Gary
