To each of you in Irene's family, I share with you the sadness that attends the death of your wonderful Irene. My memories include her incredible elegance, costumed as royalty at one of our CVH Foundation Galas, her feistiness and sweetness in our committee meetings and her wise friendship doled out as needed.
Irene will always be in my memory bank. Blessings to all members of the Gray family.

I am very sorry for your loss, my sincere condolences. The last time I saw Irene was when the Red Hatters visited the Weather Network earlier this spring, a very enjoyable time which Irene arranged for the Red Hatters. She also helped a talented author to self-publish an entertains little book, and the author attended a potluck Red Hatters lunch. Since we moved to Paris, Ontario, I don’t get over to Mississauga very often now to visit. I was very sad when I saw in an email from Trinity Church that she had passed away. Again, my condolences.
