Ms Irma was a wonderful woman. I enjoyed the time I got to spend doing her hair. I was sad when I had to retire and leave her. She was a real sweetie. She will be missed.

Michael and Judy; i remember working with your mom at Remington and she always talked about both of you as though you were her own, seriously she adored the both of you. You were her love and joy. I remember her telling about flying to California to visit Mike and he found the little Flight Bottles in her luggage. No getting around this story. All in all she was a mother figure to me all the time we worked together. A lot of good memories. Johnny Hodges
