I would like to send my most sincere condolence to Irene's family. My memories of Mrs Squires are of a very kind and loving wife, mother, and friend to many like myself and members of my family. I sincerely appreciate both Mr and Mrs Squires for their contributions to our lives during those years.

Donna, Melba, and Families, We were so sorry to hear of Irene's passing. We have such happy memories of Harold and Irene with Mom and Dad and the other couples of "The Gang". They all had so much fun on all their trips or just anywhere they were all together. Irene and Mom always made homemade coconut layer cakes at Christmas, had a ball doing so, and were quite the comedians to watch! We want you to know that you all will be in our thoughts and prayers. Take comfort in your memories of such a great woman. She will be missed.
