Re: Irene From Tampa

John, What a wonderful description of Irene's service...I can almost picture it as if I was there. You have a wonderful way with words. Irene's service sounds as beautiful as she was.

I'm not surprised that Irene was Doctor George's longest living patient. Irene was a true fighter with a strong will to live...nothing was going to stop her. She was one very amazing lady that I will never forget. She was a true inspriation to me and so many others here...I feel so blessed to have known her. Thanks so much for sharing this with us. I will continue to think of Irene and smile. God bless you and the family.
