    Hi,
    My name is Gord Burt and I am cousins with Irene through her mother Ethel (nee Packer). I have been working on a family tree for years and in 2016 I was able to connect with Irene where she shared some wonderful stories of her mother and grandmother Eliza (nee Burt).
    I was saddened to hear of her passing. My sincerest condolences to her family and friends.
