Irma warmly welcomed me when I started attending the weekly craft group in the little church on Govett Avenue. Irma was always so interested in the projects everyone was doing but more importantly she had a sincere interest in how members and our children were doing. We shared lots of laughter and lively discussion about all sorts of topics. It was a privilege to have known Irma, and I will always have fond memories of her. Janice, please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your mum.
