I cannot even count the many ways your Mother was a blessing to me. When I consider her life through what I saw of her; she loved her family deeply and lived her life with integrity and faithfulness. She was always busy with her hands as a homemaker and creative artist at sewing and needle work. I remember many tasty treats from her kitchen they always tasted like more. She was quick to care for needs others whenever she could and fed me more times than I can count. She had a faith that showed the light of Jesus not in words alone but more often in deeds. When you let her down she didn't have to say a word her look made you feel sorry that you disappointed her. The light of world shone through her in this life and will continue to shine in the next. 1 Thess. 4:13-18.
Our deepest sympathy is sent to the family. Irene touched the hearts of all of us. She was a true lady, with such a smile that would light up your heart in a second. We will truly miss her but will feel her presence with us every Tuesday night. We love you Irene so very much..until we meet again. Penny, and the Knitting Group at Kensington Village where Irene shone so brightly with her talent.
Karen always talked fondly of her Aunt Irene, how when she came over to babysit you kids, Irene always took time to chat with her and share some sewing or cooking tips, or some words of wisdom. She was always a pleasure to chat with at the Rempel Reunions and always had a big smile on. Irene loved life and showed it. My sincere condolences to Dave and family
Dear Brenda and family. So sorry to learn of your mother's passing. May God's love keep all of you during this difficult time. We will always remember your mother as a good, kind woman and wonderful neighbour and friend to our mother. Many happy memories of your mother and the whole family while growing up on Howard Ave. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Susan, Bev, Tom, Cindy and Ron (Arbour)
I have fond memories of my early years with my Aunt Irene . Her house was always welcoming with the warm smell of fresh hot buns from the oven. Kindness is the word I most associate with my Aunt Irene. My thoughts and wishes for peace to Dave and the family.
Thoughts and Prayers for the Family.
Sincere Condolences to David and the Rempel family at this time of loss. Please know you are all being held in our hearts and prayers. What a joy and delight Irene was! Such a beautiful and kind presence at Kensington Village. She certainly blessed each one of us with her gentle spirit and love. Irene's faith was a wonderful guiding light! She will be greatly missed by all of us. May your loving memories offer peace at the most difficult times of missing her.
My heart grieves with you in this time of sorrow for I know how much she will be missed by all. Put your trust in God for he will comfort you through the most difficult times in life. We may not understand his ways sometimes but he sees the whole picture that we are not able to and his way is always for our good.
