September 29, 2013 at 5:56 pmWe were so sorry to hear of Irene’s passing. She and Bill were such dear friends and we enjoyed many good times with them, here at Higgins and out West skiing. Irene was a such gracious, classy lady, a wonderful hostess to all of her many friends and she has been missed very much here at Higgins since they left.
She always spoke with great pride and love for her family and all of you have our deepest sympathy. I’m sure your many memories of her will be of comfort during this difficult time.
Our thoughts and prayers to all of you.
Sincerely,
Dorothy & Steve Bakita
