A dear friend. So many fun times together.
Condolences to the O’Rourke and Fellowes family.
My mother Gloria Kirby has many fond memories of her cousin Irene and her siblings.
We’re so saddened to hear of Irene’s passing. She was a long-standing friend and we had so much fun together. Bridge nights, visits at the cottage. Irene and Paul were such generous hosts. We remember meeting Irene and Debbie at Trio Restaurant where they were celebrating New Year’s Eve. Deepest condolences to the family from all of the Shearers.
