I will never forget my Aunt Irene. When I see someone who is dressed to the max or I hear a comment that I know she would make, I think of her elegance and grace. She always treated everyone with respect, no matter who you were. When we first moved to Florida, she couldn't wait until we met her friends at PineCrest. She arranged a special lunch in a private room and we were told to dress up, which meant Ed had to wear a tie. She was a model hostess, making sure everyone was included in the conversation and we all had the the correct # of forks and spoons. I was so impressed with her grace in the way she treated people, even though one or two fell asleep at the table. Aunt Irene will always be the voice in my head reminding me of the importance of treating people with respect and dignity. I will miss her.Cheryl

I have enjoyed seeing childhood pictures of Irene & sisters & reading letters sent to my Grandmother, Stella,& my Mother,Doris. Cole Hill is still a beautiful spot -especially when the leaves change. I also remember what a great farm Uncle Clarence had there. My sympathies to you Ola & hope you are well.Darlene

I have many memories of myAunt Irene, among them that she was always very graciouswhen visiting with her inSyracuse or Florida. She was always interested in what we were doing and frequently wrote letters.The first Christmas card we got every year was from Aunt Irene. She was meticulous in her appearance at all times. Iremember when Keith, Jaclyn and I went to visit her on our trip south in August, 2003, we went to lunch with her at Pinecrest where she was living. It was a Saturday and most people were dressed casually but Aunt Irene was dressed as if she were going to a formal affair with a beautiful blue dress, makeup, jewelry and of course her hair done. That is how I will remember her.Aunt Irene kept in touch with everybody she knew in her lifetime so she had many friends and I think she outlived most of them.I still have recipes that Aunt Irene gave to me, namely for oatmeal cookies and a three-bean salad. I know she liked to cook andentertain. My father has told me of the card games, etc. she would organize after dinner.I always enjoyed hearing about her many travels so in the past few years Ihave been sending her post cards from our travels as I knew she would enjoy hearing about our trips.Finally, I will always be grateful to Aunt Irene as she was the first person who alerted me that there was something wrong with my mother's handwriting and that I should prompt my mother to go to the doctor.My mother knew there was something wrong but did not go to the doctor until Aunt Irene's letter prompted her and then she found out she had Parkinson's Disease.The past five years have been sad in having lost three of the Cook sisters.Now they are together.Sandy, Keith and Jaclyn9/3/05
