    I am so sorry to hear about Irene. The Hunt Family will always hold a special place in my heart. I will never forget you'll coming to see me at the hospital when I had breast cancer. Wish I didn't live so far away because I would have been there for her service today. I love all of you dearly and will keep you'll in my thoughts and prayers!! Love, Kay Wilson Powell
