As Irene’s favorite song, by Buck Owens, states they are all: “Together again, The gray skies are gone, You're back in my arms, Now where you belong” The family would like to extend their thanks to Care Partners of St Albans and the St Albans Health and Rehab of St Albans for the wonderful care they gave Irene before her passing. Private family services and interment were held in the family lot in Underhill Flats Cemetery.
