Oh dear! Irene has passed on. What a great lady. I was pleased to know her (and Lawrie). Years ago when I was visiting my grandparents Tom and Jessie Kersey on Highway 50, they invited Lawrie and Irene over for a meal. Irene and I were in touch since then. You will have happy memories.

Irene was a true friend, neighbour and co-worker of my mother, Mary-Lou Fines. She was always loyal and diligent, kind and sincere. They shared many good times in Castlemore Women’s Institute.

What is happening to the former residents of Castemore, Toronto Gore? Last week Mr. Ezard, this week, your mother
and John Byrne. Mrs. Parliament, was truly a lovely lady, she would also have a word or two with me each time we’d see each other. Words are never enough. Remember the good times.
