GG you were the epitome of grace, love and kindness. You were a beautiful example of a wife, daughter, sister, grandmother and friend. You gave 100% to everything you did and showed kindness to everyone you met. I’m forever changed by your influence on my life and you will not be forgotten! Thank you for always being there for us and making us not ever doubt that we were special to you!
I was a nurse with Irene at Brookdale for 3 years and have not worked there for over 2 years but have thought of her often, I was recently notified that she passed and my heart was broken. Of all of my patients over my time as a nurse she was definitely a favorite.. she lit up every room that she was in and always made me smile..thanks for the wonderful memories Ms Irene, hope that you and Grover had a wonderful reunion in heaven.
