Life story

Iris was a Sister, Aunt, Mother, Grandmother, and Friend. She had a huge heart and everyone she ever came in contact with felt her love. If you ever needed, she would try to provide. She always looked out for those she cared deeply about and made sure you were fed. She had a way with her words which made her funny as well. She will always be in our hearts and especially in our fondest memories. Rest in peace Grandma ❤️ I made this to always remember you and hear your voice.
