    I am so saddened by the loss of Irene! She was such a good neighbor, friend, CNA, and just an all around neat lady!! She was always bringing Perry canned treats from her garden!! She was such a worker. I just saw them in Glendive Thursday at the store and she was stocking up on groceries!!!! We always invited them to meals at the VFW during the holidays if they were home!! I will miss her dearly!! Love to all!! Know that she will be missed by many people. Now she can make Perry treats up above!!!

    So sorry to hear of Irene’s death. Mom so often talked about teaching her, Ronnie, and Francis the first year she was in Montana. We got the opportunity to be in school with Julie at the calf Creek School. we all took turns visiting each other and I vividly remember staying with Julie. I was os thrilled Irene drove all the way to Winnett for Dad’s funeral and had a good visit. So shocking to see she also is gone. My sympathies to you all. Love, Lynda
