Your family is in our prayers, with love and such wonderful memories we have with Irene. Always a smile and a witty remark, or tease. Bless you.
Jessica Bolte and family, you all are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. God Bless.
Heartfelt condolences to you and your family in your loss. We love you, Jess.
I have many fond memories of Aunt Irene, as a child and an adult. When my mom, her sister, and she got together, they were talking non-stop. I think Irene was the only one that could keep up with my mom’s conversational skills. I did not get to Omaha as an adult as often as liked, but Aunt Irene always remembered me on my birthday with a card and usually a phone call as well. No matter what was going on with her, she was always up beat and positive and interested in my life and my family. I have missed the cards and calls the last few years. My very deepest sympathy to Guy and the entire family.
