Auntie Irene, you will always be remembered and missed so dearly. We have so many fond memories of you, especially listening to your travel recommendations, drawn from a lifetime of exploring the world, often on adventures by yourself. You were a true inspiration, showing me what it means to be a strong, independent woman.

Until recently, we shared catch-up calls, and you would always ask about the family and how your ‘lil sis’ was doing. I see so much of that same special bond reflected in my own relationship with my lil sis.

We all thought the world of you and will treasure the many wonderful memories we shared - especially our mutual love of Cala Llonga (we still can’t believe it took us so long to visit).

You will be deeply missed by us all. Sleep tight, love you Xxx

It was so lovely to spend quality time with you after too many years. You were always a very special lady to us and will be fondly remembered.
Love Malcolm and Angela Waite xx

We've have spent many good times together and been very close. Our children loved having you as their Aunty.

I’m going to miss my tea buddy . We had some good chats and laughs you were very special to me and Maria. You were never a chore , you were a joy . Especially when you used to claim you couldn’t put your seatbelt on so I had to lean across you , any excuse for a cuddle and that devilish twinkle in your eye which I saw again when I visited you recently. Sleep tight granny in law xx
