    My mom Laurie Christenson worked for Irene about 30 yrs ago at the cafe in Kindred. When my mom passed away Irene and my great uncle set up a trust fund for me to go to college which I used to help pay for Nursing school. Irene was a wonderful person I will never forget all her kindness toward me and my mother .
    sincerely, Stacy Line

    My childhood thoughts of Irene bring a warmth of loving and caring to mind and body. Irene lived down the road from our farm and we “stopped in” many times on our way to town. We were always greeted as if she hadn’t seen us in years, with hospitality to match. Irene was a member of Gol church and her presence was always felt from ladies aid, church potlucks, and Sunday School. I specifically remember the AWESOME burgers Irene made with crispy buttered buns that melted in your mouth. I believe it was called the Stable years ago. Irene was a child of God that lived her life in His service. Her love and compassion for all of us fortunate enough to know her, will be held within my heart forever. Enjoy the peace of Heaven as you live with the Lord.
    Love you,
    Kimberly (Braaten) Sklebar
