I send my most sincere sympathies to Don, Kyra and Patrick. Irene worked with my mother at the Royal Bank and was a strong supporter of my musical career. There was never a meeting on the street or in a store when she didn't ask about me or my older brother.

Irene cared - she cared about her community and the well-being of her family and friends. I am sure she has left a hole in the hearts of her loved ones. May you all find peace in the comfort of your memories.

Sincerely, Laurie Bassett
