Irene,

The close friendship I came to know with you and Pat will last my lifetime. I miss you. I know you are looking down and smiling.

Dear Kelly Family:

My apologies for my mom and I not being able to make the wake but I am on duty and my mom is in the hospital.

I will always remember Irene's ability to make a child feel like a king, a young man feel not so insecure and a stepson so happy that his stepfather and mom had such wonderful and supportive people in their lives. I am glad she is at rest as she earned her wings a long time ago! You are all in Eileen and my prayers.

I have many fond and happy memories of Irene and my many visits to the Kelly home. She was always a most gracious and kind person to me and my family.

Pat,



There are not enough words to express how deeply saddened I feel.

I consider myself lucky for having the both of you in my life.
