“Irene and I have been friends since high school. We played basketball and volleyball together, then took up tennis as adults. We often travelled together – driving to California, going to Club Meds in the Caribbean. I even introduced her to her husband Ron. May you now rest in peace, Irene.” – Hedy Gadd
“Dear Cherkas Family, Thinking of you all at this sad time. Please accept our deepest sympathy. Vichnaya Pamyat. Love, Barb and Bill Ross” – Barb and Bill Ross
