Condolences to the family
Irene was the first teacher I had who help shape our lives by showing us kindness, empathy and how to have fun.. I will always remember her and her parents with fondness. My sincere condolences to Irene's family.
I have only just received the very sad news. I was a teaching colleague of Irene’s at Royal West. In fact we had our joint retirement breakfast together there in 2006. As well as being an excellent, respected and well-loved teacher, Irene was a valued and reliable friend to all . - with a great sense of humour. All laughs we shared together on a daily basis will never be forgotten.. My sincere belated condolences to her family and other friends.
Had met Irene while she lovingly accompanied her father on his journey at the CHSLD Champlain in Verdun. Was so sorry to learn of her passing. May loving memories bring you peace, comfort and strength.
So sorry to hear this news, just messaged her today to see if she was free for lunch! Am very surprised. My condolences to the family and friends
Irene was our neighbor and close friend. We spent many happy moments together over the years. We often spoke about Spiritual Matters and the hope of the resurrection as brought out in the Holy Scriptures (John 5:28-29) We are confident that we will see her and her mother and dad again. Our condolences to her relatives and friends.
Mes condoléances à la famille et amis de Irene. Bon voyage Irene 🥹 Tu diras coucou à ma grand maman Constance stp.
"Matante" Irene, ton départ nous as tous mis sous le choc et tu vas nous manquer. Mais dans ma tête, tu es partis rejoindre tes parents adorés, ta tante Pat, et ta meilleure amie/ta soeur Constance. Tu étais ma dernière connection à ma ma maman et je te remercie d'avoir pris une encore plus grande place dans nos vies, quand maman a quitté. Tu es même venue avec Jo, Oza et moi voir pleins de spectacles que maman avait planifié de venir voir avec nous (dont Bruno Mars). Ta dernière visite chez moi m'a beaucoup touché et j'apprécie tous les bons souvenirs de toi et Maman que tu m'as raconté. Je m'en souviendrai toujours. Mes sincères condoléances à sa cousine Johanne et tous ses proches qui l'ont tant aimé. RIP ma belle Irene, I love you 😇❤️
