I am sorry to hear of Iris’s death. She was a pistol! When I first met Iris, she scared me! It didn’t take too long though to see that Iris had a heart of gold! Iris taught me how to be a bank teller and the importance of working as a team. I take the lessons she taught me into consideration every day of my working life. I am grateful for the time I had with Iris. I hope you find comfort with your memories of this great lady!
