Good Night, Irene. It was a song title many years ago.
But, dear Irene, cherished friend of over 50 years and phenomenal neighbor for almost 40 years... those words can no longer be applied to you.
Soon you will be welcomed into God's Kingdom where there will be no night; no darkness.
You will be housed forever in His Circle of Light. At this moment it's more than likely the Celestial Choir is holding a special gathering, preparing for your entry; others are readying the ring, the robe and preparing the banquet menu.
50 Plus years of 'beyond grateful' I carry in my heart. Cherished memories of family gatherings which included Bevy and me.
Thank you for the gift of you. Essence of Irene won't be sold on the open market but I shall indulge myself in a dab or two a day to keep you ever near.
My tears , today, mingle with those of yours, Bob, Therese, Julie, Rob, Linda (Lacuna) and family. We know in time, however, there will be great rejoicing when we are united, once again, for eternity.
Meantime, my ongoing love and prayers as we continue 'walking one another home.'
