What a great story! I feel like I knew her, even though I didn't. She would have indeed been a good friend to have. And she was right of course - there is nothing like a good cup of coffee!

What an amazing lady. My grandmother was also at Columbia. She died in 1998.

Irene was at Regina and it was such a nice place. I wasn't looking forward to her stay at Columbia, but they were good to her. Irene wasn't there until around middle of 1999.
