We send our sympathy and love to all of the Stevens Family. Irene was one of the "ladies of Lost River" and we will never forget the joy of sharing our Tuesday evening picnics in the park with her, with Cliff, and all of the Stevens. I will always remember Irene by the pool, enjoying the company of the Lost River Family. God bless you. She will be missed by all of us.
