My condolences to Irene's family. I have known Irene for almost 30 years beginning when I became her and her husband, Bob's next door neighbor on the third floor of our condo building in Oak Park. Over the years Irene became a very special friend and we shared so many things from plates of food passed across the back stair landing to special ocassions and events in each other's lives. We shared a love of music and she often attended concerts of the Chicago Swedish Glee Club of which I am a member. We served together, for several years, on the condo association board on which she was a tremendous asset. Irene was a special person and a special friend and I will remember her and miss her for the rest of my life.

Bob, My condolences to you and your family. I have known Irene over 30 years and she will surely be missed not only as a friend but as a partner as we worked on Phi Chi Theta projects. Know that your mother was one of a kind and will surely be missed. My prayers are with you at this time.

Irene, how I will miss you! Without you and Naomi there would not be a Phi Chi Theta Fraternity today. We owe you so much for the sacrifices you made to keep us going. You were my mentor and my cherished friend. I have no doubt that you, Jackie, Naomi, and Ordry have Heaven well organized and running smoothly and having lots of fun at the same time. I love you all.
