Aunty was always very fun and energetic even when she was stern, she loved going out in the garden on mornings and collecting fruits, then sitting in the shade on evenings for me to put curlers in her hair which made me feel like the BEST hairdresser 😂. We will always carry her in our hearts 💖

My condolences to my best friend Marsha and family.
I am so glad to have known Irma over the years, and even though we have not spent much time together, she was a wonderful woman, full of life and I always felt comfortable around her. She was also a friend of my Mom and I know that she will be greatly missed. May she rest in peace!
