Message from Kris

Dear Dawn,

You were and remain a treasure in Mom's and our lives. I don't think she ever could have adjusted to moving out of her home without your loving care.

Thank you for all you have done and do. We look forward to seeing you very much if you can come.

with loving regards,

Kris

Sorry for your loss. She was a beautiful lady from the short time I knew her at Lakeland Health care center.

Thank you for your kindness and care. We appreciate everything that Lakeland nurses and other staff did to make her stay with you comfortable.

In peace,

Message from Kristin Anderson

My condolences in the passing of your dear Mother. She left many wonderful memories with so many people. Thinking of your families during this difficult time, and, in the future when you must see her empty chair...

Message from Kris

Bless you, Kristin, for your sweet words. She enjoyed seeing you at the Post Office always!

Message from Liz Osborne

I am one of a string of International Exchange Students who passed through the home of Irene and Phil Borre through their involvement with the Richmond Rotary Club.
When I arrived in the fall of 1975, Phil had passed away and both Kurtis and Kris were married and living away from home. I spent about four months with Irene and Mary Ellen. That short period has had the most enormous impact on my life.
Irene taught me many things. She inspired in me an appreciation of beautiful old, well crafted furniture and china. She taught me the importance of celebrating and 'making a fuss of' special events like birthdays and holidays. My children probably don't realize that my fascination with decorating our house for Christmas, came from her.
Most of all, she taught me a great deal about love and family and she gave me a precious sister.
Irene came to visit us in New Zealand in 1985, just before the birth of our first child and we have been fortunate to have been able to return to the United States and visit with her many times over the years. Our family and Mary Ellen and John's family are beautifully intertwined.
Kerry and I are deeply saddened that we will not be able to be there in June to celebrate Irene's life and to support her family.
We will be forever grateful to have had Mom Borre in our lives.

Message from Your sister...

Many many tight hugs to you and Kerry. Love you.

Message from Kris

Dear Liz,

Mom loved you very much and was glad to have you as a daughter. We will miss your physical presence but will feel your love and caring during our celebration of her life.

Love from Kris

Message from Mary Miller

Kris, I'm so sorry for your loss. I'm glad though, that you moved when you did, no so many years nearer to her.

Message from Kris

Thank you Mary for your kind thoughts. Yes, it allowed us time much needed for us to be here. Still we miss your family and our memories of good times at the Millers.

My sincere condolences on the passing of your mother! She was a neighbor, friend, and community icon. I will dearly miss speaking with her about life in Richmond. We have all lost a special lady, who have so much! God Bless her!

Oh my, the memories of your Mom. She was always such a gracious lady, full of energy and interested in everything and everyone. I most vividly remember the corner grocery store, the apartment over the store and the wonderful times so many of us "kids" had running through the alleys to each others houses during the days of summer. I also fondly remember the summer Irene got me involved helping her as she taught vacation Bible school. And let's not forget her sense of adventure and the calendar. Quite a LADY.

Message from Mary Ellen Kanthack

Barb,
I realized I had replied to your mom...thinking this was from her as Julie told me how hard it was to call your mom and deliver this news. As our parents with such deep and long ties, lose their friends one by one, it has to be unimaginably hard. Extend my sympathies to your mom in losing her friend.

Message from Kris

Barb, your words are much appreciated and comforting. All these years and our earliest friendships are still the sweetest. She loved your family and often asked about your Mom.

Message from Mary Ellen Kanthack

Thank you Betty! We are sorry for the loss of your friend too as it is not easy to see them go. And yes...that racy calendar!

Message from The Kay Family

Our condolences to the family at this difficult time. Irene was a special treasure to our family and will be missed immensely.

Message from Mary Ellen Kanthack

Thank you Tammy & Ron. You were very special to our mom.

Message from Jackson Family

We would like to express our deepest sympathy. May those precious memories be foremost in your hearts and minds during this difficult difficult time.
