Please accept my condolences on the loss of Irene. My name is Donna Broman Goldstein. Recently, I was watching a video of my mother, Rose Cohen Broman, where she mentioned her childhood friend was Irene Askins. I remembered this when reading the Shalom obituaries. May Irene and Rose rest in peace.
Please accept our condolences on the passing of Irene. Irene was friends with my mother Dolores Burns, who we lost in 2022. My mother and another friend had traveled with Irene and Olivia on a few occasions. There were always fun stories shared about their adventures! And Irene’s adventures with Olivia were great stories as well! I’m not sure how my mom met Irene but I remember they would exchange holiday cards every December. I remember meeting Irene on a number of occasions over the years and what an energetic spirit she had!
With our sympathy,

Irene we are all so sorry that it is late March and we are just receiving the news of your passing. I will always remember the wonderful fun we had on our trips and miss your congenial humor and your comedic malaprops that had us laughing all day. May you rest in peace my dear friend and you should know that although we missed your services we are planning a celebration of your life in the spring to let you know that we have not forgotten you.
