Iris and I worked together at Granville Entertainment and my favourite part of the day was having lunch with her and Tom.  I believe finding good company to break bread with is such a blessing.  That is where our friendship started, and it continued throughout the years.  One of my fondest memories of Iris was when she, Brian, Dylan and I made homemade perogies.  It was so much work, but once they were done, we had an incredible feast.  Those perogies were almost as delicious as the Korean BBQ Iris prepared for us…SO GOOD!

When I think of Iris, I think “sweet, sweet Iris.”  Every time we saw her she would ask Charlotte for a hug. Charlotte is so shy, but, she eventually started hugging her without prompting.   Iris would get a great big smile after that hug and I could see the warmth and love radiating off of her.  “Sweet, sweet Iris.”

Some more words that remind me of Iris are: grace, kindness, beauty, style, warmth, humour, compassion, generosity and courage.

I feel so blessed that I had the opportunity to have Iris in my life. Although I wish it was much longerm, I am so grateful for the memories that I do have.  I will miss my dear friend, “sweet, sweet Iris.”
