Renie was truly a “Grand Lady”. She was one of the few people who could tease me and get away with it. I loved her dearly.Her compassion for others was unsurpassed, especially for those close to her.While our loss here,as painful as it is, will be a greater gain as she reunites with Frank and other family members.Millie and I will greatly miss you, IRENE McCormack.
Suzanne and family:
My sincere condolences on the loss of Irene. I’m certain she will be sadly missed and she would want her family to look to a better future.
Mark,
Please accept my deepest condolences on your mother’s passing. I am so sorry for you and your family’s loss. Your mom sounded like she was an amazing person. Take solace in in the fact that you are surrounded by those who love and support you during this difficult time. You and your family remain in my thoughts and prayers.
Didn’t know her well but sometimes you just know special people when you are around them briefly. Irene and Frank were great parents to great kids. I hope this family finds peace during this difficult time and will always find a smile when they think of Irene.
Mark, Suzanne and family, Our hearts break for the loss of your Mother. We know how devoted you were to taking care of her and loving her.
Sorry for your loss
