    Donna, Richard, Beverly and family. My deepest sympathy and happy thoughts at this time. Irma will join mom in beautiful and peaceful Heaven and be reunited with Elmer and Terry. I remember her beautiful singing at church with Richard and Beverly. I remember the good times spent with my mom and dad. In July when I was home at the time of mom's funeral, I spent some time with Irma at the nursing home. I told her who I was and that mom had died. She got a tear in her eye so I felt she understood what I was saying. Irma was an awesome lady. My thoughts are with all. Linda
