Dear Irene, it was an honour to be a part of your journey over these past years.
You were a beautiful courageous lady who always thought of others and enjoyed life.

Dearest Ireney, we will miss you so much.
You were and always will be our buddy, our partner in crime, our soul sister.
You were our fellow chip and giggler, Cats devotee, old song serenader, hearty laugher, confidante, story teller and ‘love a good dinner outer’.
Most of all you are our most special and dear friend and we will remember you always as you were – amazing, generous, loyal, kind and beautiful.
Love from The Cat Women
