Jimmy, it saddens me to hear of Irene’s passing. Please share my condolences and find comfort in the following: “God saw her getting tired and a cure was not to be. So He put His arms around her and whispered “Come to Me.” With tearful eyes we watched her, and saw her pass away. Although the family and friends loved her dearly, we could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.” – Author Unknown – Bill Harris – Affordable Alarms, WA
