To: Maegan & The Danahey Family,
I am so sorry to hear of your loss and even more sorry to have missed the opportunity to say good-bye to your mom and wife. She is a woman I will never forget. She always made me feel welcome in her home and welcomed my phone calls when I rang. I know she is in a better place now, therfore her suffering is no longer. You and your family are in my heart and prayers. You are a close knit family and you will get through this.
Maegan, I love you!

To Maegen and her family. Your Mom always had such a wonderful and positive energy around her. She was someone that you always wanted to be around. She always made me feel so comfortable. I am so saddened for all of you at this time. She will be missed, and her positive energy has definatley carried on to all of her family. There is a bond there that she has helped to create, and it is absolutley beautiful to see. As a mother myself, she inspires me.
Love,
Jami Morgan and Family

To the Danahey Family-
Some of my fondest childhood memories have the back drop of the Danahey household. A home filled with family, friends, fun and most of all love. Once you entered Irene's kitchen you were a part of the family and welcome to a helping or two of pizza. Please know that Irene lives on in all of those who knew her. Each and every one of you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Kimberly

To the Danahey Family,

I am sorry about the loss of your mother and wife-Irene. I will never forget staying at your home and the hospitality your family has always extended to me. Your Mom was always a good sport and I will never forget the "Irene Kiss" that she inspired and we had so much fun with in college. You are not judged by the material items you've accumulated in your life but rather the richness that you leave behind in the lives of others. This is the true measure of one's accomplishments. Irene's legacy will be that she positively touched many, and for that we are all better people. We can all come up with an Irene story and smile and for that we are forever greatful for having her be a part of our lives.
