Peter: I read the sad news about Irene in the Globe and felt I had to let you know that you and William are in my thoughts. I can't even begin to imagine how you must be feeling - life isn't fair. You have a loving family who will support you through this very difficult time. Take care. Syl

It was with deep sadness and shock that I learned of Irene's death in Saturday's Globe and Mail. I was a student midwife working with Sylvie Lemay in October 2004, when William was born and was fortunate to be present at his birth. Along with Irene, Peter, and a crew of doctors and nurses I am proud to say I was among the first to meet him. I remember going to visit Irene at home in the days after William was born, and will never forget how kind and generous she was to me. Even as a new mom, tired, sore and sleep deprived she would always ask how I was doing. She loaded me up with snacks as I left, wanting to make sure that I had something to eat and was looked after. While later giving report to Sylvie, I remember saying that Irene and William were doing great, but that Irene might be doing "too much." If she was taking the time and care to be so nice to me (who she had only know a few months), maybe she wasn't resting enough! The more I got to know her, the more I learned that to be her way, always looking out for others. One of the best things about being a midwife is that I get to know people at such a special time in their lives: through the birth of their children. Irene's death reminds me yet again what a special opportunity I have in my work. My memories of Irene, Peter and William together in their first days as a family are all the more poignant now. It was a privilege to have known her. My sincerest condolences.

Dear Pete; Words cannot express how deeply sorry we are for yours and William's loss. Irene was truly the nicest and sweetest person we have ever met. Without Irene the world is NOT a better place. We will miss seeing her at the Aiello's cottage every summer and fall. Our hearts and deepest condolences go out to you and your family. John, Maria, Jacob and Jessica Zammit

My heartfelt sympathies to Peter and William and all who loved Irene. We are also a family who has suffered the loss of someone very special at the hands of melanoma. My husband Brian died in March 2008 at the age of 35. May you be surrounded by love during this difficult time, and may you find comfort in your special memories and in knowing she is at peace. Many blessings to you all from our family to yours, Jenni Halley, Rachel, Amberlea and Tye Maryville, MO

I met Irene recently at Princess Margaret Hospital - my husband Geoff was being treated for melanoma as well. Peter and Geoff worked together at Fraser Mackenzie Limited for awhile. Geoff lost his battle May 15, 2008. I am truly sorry for your loss Peter. I know that the wonderful memories of Irene will comfort you and bring you peace. Take care.
