Irene’s loved ones. I was a member of St. Paul’s III for some years before taking the giant leap into ordained Lutheran ministry some years ago. It was my time at St. Paul’s that I got to know Irene and she was truly a Christian friend, and we shared some really good times there. Lost track of her after moving from the Valley to do ministry but have retired back here and just learned of your loss and I am deeply sorry. May God walk with you during your time of mourning as I know He does. Blessings always (Rev.) Kathleen (Drogo) Coleman
