Posted at 10:51h, 11 JanuaryIrene was a thoughtful and caring woman. My service with the DAVA was enlightened by knowing her and she was one of the many joys my daughter has encountered.
Heaven will definitely have an Angel who will be trying to make everyone comfortable, happy, and fed with her there!
