As I read through the bible,Irene,it always makes me feel so much closer to you.I remember at your home,there was always a bible open.You were so true to God,you inspired me to get closer with God too.Thankyou Irene,for being the light in the dark.I sit here with tears welling up,I miss you so much its crazy.I miss you dearly,because I am so grateful that we met.I am sorry you suffered so much those last years,you inspired me,how patient and strong you seemed,and when you didn't feel strong you were the first to admit it.I remember once you telling me that you shouted at God for having cloth ears...still makes me smile and chuckle to myself. You would be so proud of the boys Irene,they love their bibles so very much. I am taking them swimming shortly Irene,they are going to learn to swim this year. Mike is well,he sends his love to you,I hope u are dancing in heaven dear dear soul. you always said to me that death must be wondeful,so great that no one wants to come back to tell about it :) I hope your passing over was smooth,and I hope you are a free spirit dear Irene. seeing you put to the ground was one of the most painful experiences,as much as we knew you would have to go.I pray for Heather and Andrew Irene,and the children,how you loved them so so very much.You loved all children so very very much.You were the only one who remembered Joshua and you were the only one who was on my side..thankyou for giving me faith when I thought all was gone...you saved my life in so many ways Irene,you gave me life again.I remember those visits to your house..its almost as if I am there.The tears are falling,but I bless every tear,for every tear is a tear of love and thanks. I love you Irene,you always used to say ''God bless you''and your hugs could tuern a man blue!!!hehehehe :) thanks for those blessings,thanks for those hugs..thankyou for loving us Irene xxxx
