Upon her death, Irene requested that the following passage be included in her obituary: Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints in the snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain. I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning's hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry; I am not there. I did not die. Irene was often heard to say that she loved life, her friends and her family alike. She will be dearly missed by all those that she touched and were touched by her. Funeral services will be held at 2PM on Friday, May 12th, at 439 East 5th Avenue, Mount Dora, First United Methodist Church. In lieu of flowers, it's Irene's wish that donations be sent to the "Anthony House" sponsored by her church. The family wishes to extend a special "Thank You" to Florida Hospital Waterman, ER nurse, Ken; the ambulance transport crews; Dr. William Weaver; to Central Florida Regional Hospital, NSICU nurses Kim, Kim, Phillip, RT Jerry and Neurosurgeon Dr. Rodas for the loving comfort and care they provided for our loved one and extended family.
