My grandmother, Olga Jenkins, was one of those neighbors. Irene knew what it was like to be a good neighbor. She and my Grandmother had a wonderful friendship. Olga always spoke highly of Irene. I will always remember Irene as a hard worker, but she always found time to sit down and write a letter. When Olga had to move to Missouri she always shared Irene's letter with us. What a wonderful human being.

Granny, was a pleasure to know you . A smile and a wink and you are on your way. You were a jewel and I will miss you. Now you can rest under a tree and watch the world go by. Miss Bea
Oh yes.... The Buffalow farm. The best place I knew to find fish. Even when your fishing skills told you there were no fish to be found, Mrs. Buffalow could always bring her pets to the surface just to show you there were still fish in the water waiting to be caught sometime in the future. Given a few more years I think she could have tamed the prairie chickens too or a least had them feeding out of her hand.
However, even better than the fishing expeditions were the conversations with Mrs Buffalow, her wonderful cookies, her awesome cooking, and the overall pleasure of just being there "on the farm". She made every visit to the farm one that made you want to return sooner than the last. It seemed she was a natural at making you feel good about life. She used the resources around her to bring enjoyment and fun to everyone.
Mrs Buffalow you will be missed. Though you are not with us any longer and have gone to a better place, the memory of you and the times on the farm will be a special part of me. Your positive outlook of life and unmatched work ethic is something that I will value and respect always. You were blessed with a great family and your family along with countless others were blessed with knowing you. Good bye Mrs. Buffalo. Thank you.
Myrna, Mary, Sharon and families. Was so shocked to see that your mother had passed away. She was always such a go getter, I guess I expected her to be around forever. What a wonderful woman and she is going to be missed by you, her family, and by anyone that has had the honor of know you mother. Many memories. My thoughts, prayers and sympathies are with all of you as you face the days ahead. God's Blessings and comfort to all of you.
Irene will be deeply missed.......what a wonderful lady she was.
You will always be loved and missed.
Oh Aunt Reenie, how I have missed you and the fun time had on the farm! You were one of a kind,,,,,,,,,,a true pearl. Don't let them guinea hens get the best of you now! LOL From Mary Leigh, your adoring neice. Go ride Mac and kill a few turkeys! A few rattlesnakes too!
