I know there are no words that can really help to ease the loss you bear, just know that you (Cheryl, Sandi, and Heather) are in my thoughts and prayers. Robert Rapier Robert.Rapier@capitasfinancial.com To the family of Irene Brown Suitt, Irene was one of my Dumas High School, Class of 1960 classmates, and she will be missed by all of us. Please accept our sympathies and know that we are thinking of you. Robert Rapier, Dumas High School, Class of 1960 Chantelle cmr30@att.net With Heartfelt Sympathy, May you find comfort in the word of God and in the knowledge that others sympathize with you in your loss. Since this may be one of the hardest things we will ever have to cope with, the bible offers hope. Pointing to a glorious time, Isaiah 25:8 says, "God will actually swallow up death forever and Jehovah God will certainly wipe the tears from all faces." Please read John 5:28,29. It has helped many bereaved persons and myself. I pray it does the same for you. Kenny Jaggers kenjaggers@bpmrealtors.com On behalf of the class of Dumas High School 1960 let me offer our condolences to your family. Irene was a beloved classmate. She only grew more beautiful as she lived and loved her family. We will miss her also. Becky Noble McGuyer mcguyermr@rocketmail.com I knew your mom from growing up here in Idaho Falls, but when I really came to know her was when my husband and I moved back to Idaho Falls in '94. I don't how many times each month we spoke with Irene at CAL. She's the reason I looked forward to going there. She was always so kind and so friendly. We both will miss her. Becky and Mike McGuyer Tricia Morehead fc@tdl.com Chery, Sandy and Heather, Your Mom and I were best friends for many years. We raised our babies together. Cheryl and Leisa, Sandy and Michelle, and Heather and Clinton. We enjoyed many years of swimming lessons, dance lessons and so much more. Giving each other perms and hair cuts. My heart goes out to and my prayers are with you. Take heart in knowing that your Mother was one of the most caring and loving Mothers I have ever had the pleasure of calling my friend. Tricia Morehead (Mori children's Mother) Hardy Peacock I appreciate the opportunity to express my condolences to the entire family, but especially to Cheryl, Sandra, and Heather. As a classmate your mother was such a joy to be around; quiet, thoughtful, always will to be a friend, always willing to listen, and with a killer smile. She was a real asset to the Class of 1960. I can tell from the photos and the video that she never lost that trademark grin and even passed it on to the next generation. Please accept my sympathy for your loss.

Terry Ann & Craig & family Mindy Duncan Anderson anderson6@wtechlink.us Cheryl, Sandy & Heather, I wanted to tell you how sad I am to hear about your Mom. I have so many fond memories of her from my chilhood.
