    Dana , Paula & David,

    I am sorry to hear of your mother\’s passing. I remember spending alot of time at your house and walking to school every day. The greatest memory I have was when your mom worked at Tasty Freeze and we would see her when we went for lunch, while in High school. She was a very wonderful woman and will be missed very much!

    Sorry for your loss. I will always remember her. She was my Sunday school teacher as a child and I think of her often as an adult. I hope the kids I teach can feel the love just like I did from Iris. Thank you!

    Iris was the most sweetest, loving Christian lady that I just adored growing up in the Sunrise Chapel family, she holds very fond memories of being able to know her over all the years for me and my family. We will surely miss her wonderful personality and all her prayers for us, my heartfelt condolences to all of her family. In Christ, Deborah (Henderson) & Family.
