After moving to Forest some thrity-five years ago, we met the Vanos clan and became friends with Irma, Marty and their five girls.During the five years we lived there we were warmly accepted into their circle of friends and vividly remember playing Canasta late into the night with Marty and Irma. We loved how, sooner or later, she would break out singing her favourite country and western songs with gusto. We will always remember her and feel truly blest to have been part of her life. Rest in peace Irma in the Lord's arms. Love and prayers for all of the family, Jim and Janey Sekerak

Janie, Joan, Bonnie, Connie, Deb & families, I know it has been a few years, but I will never forget your wonderful mom. She always welcomed anyone into her home and always had a smile for all of us. I have many fond memories of "hanging out" at the Vanos home. Your mom was an amazing lady and one who will never be forgotten. God bless you all and remember to always keep your memories close to your heart.

Knowing your family all these years I find it hard to know what to say. It is hard to believe that just 2 weeks ago I seen your MOM in Florida, singing with her brother and friends there and her & Ollie planing a golf date with Helen(my sister) and Jerry. Irma was very talented and allot of fun to be around. My family sends our heartfelt sympathy to Ollie and IRMA'S GIRLS and their families. Memories are a wonderful thing. Our thoughts are with you all. Irma will be missed by many.

Ollie, Janie, Joan, Connie, Bonnie, Deb and your families I'm so sorry for your loss. Irma was a second mother to me. I spent so much time with your family, I always felt a part of it. Irma was a great inspiration to me, in fact, she had been in my thoughts a lot lately. I was hoping to take some piano and singing lessons. Although I can't be there with you, I share your sadness for her loss. I hope you all can be strong through this difficult time and remember all of the love, laughter and harmony your family had together. My deepest sympathies. Annette Aarts

Dear Bonnie, Connie, Janie, Joan and Deb: I am very sorry for the loss of your Mom, she was a wonderful woman, I'll never forget her. It is a very difficult time for you all but I know you have wonderful memories, families and friends to get you through. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Here is something someone passed on to my family when our Mom passed away 3 years ago. Helen Bagley. MOTHER'S PATH OF LIFE The young mother set her foot on the path of life."Is this the long way?" she asked. And the guide said: "Yes, and the way is hard. And you will be old before you reach the end of it. But the end will be better than the beginning." But the young mother was happy, and she would not believe that anything could be better than these years. So she played with her children and gathered flowers for them along the way and bathed them in the clear streams and the sun shone on them and the young Mother cried, "Nothing will ever be lovelier than this. Then the night came and the storm and the path was dark and the children shook with fear and cold and the mother drew them close and covered them with her mantle and the children said,"Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can come. And the morning came and there was a hill ahead and the children climbed and grew weary and the mother was weary. But at all times she said to the children, "A little patience and we are there. So the children climbed and when they reached the top they said, "Mother, we would not have done it without you." And the mother, when she lay down at night looked up at the stars and said,"This is a better day than the last, for my children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness. Yesterday I gave them courage, Today, I have given them strength. And the next day came strange clouds which darkened the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil and the children groped and stumbled and the mother said, "Look up, Lift your eyes to the light." And the children looked and saw above the clouds and everlasting glory and it guided them beyond the darkness and that night the Mother said, "This is the best day of all, for I have shown my children God." And the days went on and the weeks and months and the years and the mother grew old and she was little and bent. But her children were tall and strong and walked with courage. And when the way was rough they lifted her for she was as light as a feather and at last they came to a hill and beyond they could see a shinning road and golden gates flung wide and Mother said, "I have reached the end of my journey and now I know the end is better than the beginning for my children can walk alone and their children after them. And the children said," You will always walk with us Mother, even when you have gone through the gates. And they stood and watched her as she went on alone and the gates closed after her. And they said, "We cannot see her, but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a memory, she is a living presence. Your Mother is always with you. She's the whisper of the leaves as you walk down the street, she's the smell of bleach in your freshly laundered socks, she's the cool hand on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives insider your laughter and she's crystallized in every tear drop. She's the place you came from, your first home, and she the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first love and your first heartbreak and nothing on earth can separate you. Not time not space,... not even death
