There was never a dull moment when you where around. You
always brought laughter to our family gatherings with your wild
stories and jokes! I'm truly sorry we did not spend time together in the
last few years, there never seemed to be enough time. We did get
to catch up when we spoke on the phone, and you never lost a beat!
You will be sadly missed by your nephews, Jerry and I. I'll always tell
Alex and Mia about there "Great" Aunt Irene, and how she kept us all on our toes!! I Love You
Linda
Please accept my sincere condolences on your loss. I'm glad I was able to see her last summer. She still had that wicked sense of humor. I hope that your memories will bring you comfort. Look for subtle signs and you will know that she is and always will be with you in some way.
You are all in my prayers.

Second Cousin Irene
For some reason, Irene wanted me to be the flower girl. Not our cousin Connie, but there are pictures of her wedding and me as the flower girl. The dresses were pretty nice. Compaired to what usually is out there for wedding and brides and brides maids dress. For some reason, I think because my mother was her favorite cousin, I become her favorite littel second cousin. Whenever anyone saw her, she was laughing, and giving advice to anyone she cared for. Kinda young , and I am sorry I lost touch with her by the time I went into the Navy, in 1992. Still sad that all of the family on my mothers side is gone ;_( Rest in Peace Cousin Irene.
The night I met Irene!
How I met my wife
The way this starts is almost like a scene out of American Grafitti. After I graduated from Archbishop Wood High in 1969 I had a number of jobs, nothing that would rock your world, but I eventually ended up at a car dealer on welsh road & Bustleton avenue. While I worked there I met some new friends and we sometimes went to lunch at Shoney's Big Boy on the Roosevelt Blvd. Well one friday evening after work me and one of my friends drove over to Big Boy's. Now incase you never heard of Shoney's Big Boy they had an outside area were you drove your car up and a young lady on roller skates would take your order. Well on that particular friday evening parked right next to us were Two young ladies who thought they were all that, and of course me and my friend started talking to them hoping that we could pick them up. " NOT " That fast Irene Sliced & Diced us, we didn't know what hit us. So as fate would have it we were there two weeks later, same time and same parking space, and guess who pulls up next to us ? You guessed it Irene and her girlfriend. Well this time we got their phone numbers, and had some idle conversation. While we were talking Irene says do either of you Roller Skate,of course wanting to get to know her better I say Yes. well as I found out Irene was a Semi-Pro roller skater and skated in competion. Boy did I look like an ass. But she taught me how to skate both forwards & backwards and also waltz.and the rest is history. I've never met a smarter person on the face of this earth and she was always there for me, both in good times and bad. You just can't imagine how much I'll miss her. Right now she's at the heavenly karaoke bar or running a Bingo game for the Angels. I'll always love yo. Your Husband John
