May God comfort you during you during this time. I am so sorry for you loss. We will miss Grandma Irene. God Bless you all.
Our prayers and love go out to the Wagner family. For so many years as our neighbors, Kenny and Irene were the grandparents you wanted to have living next door. The long visits on the front porch and talks along the fence enriched our lives by their incredible love and joy. Irene was such a sweet person. That easy smile at the sight of our small children and laughing at our son calling her KennyIrene or AquaMarine. She loved hearing our son was named Jack and seeing our daughters red hair. Irene had this special timing bringing homemade treats at just the right times. We miss her. We miss Kenny. What a wondrous reunion it must be in HEAVEN!
We will miss Irene. She had such great devotion to her family-all generations!
