Richard I am deeply sorry of your mom’s passing. She was an absolute pleasure to talk with. We had many intellectual conversations. When I would mention my travels around the world and especially New York City we both had a lot to talk about. She knew my parents very well and knew me growing up as a little girl. Both of our parents’s businesses across the street from each other on Government Road. Mrs Freedman you will be greatly missed by me. May you “Rest In Peace”. Shalom

My heart broke when I saw the passing of your mom. Such a beautiful picture of a classy lady. I will always remember the times I would pass by her house with my 2 boys and she would come out to give them popsicles. They called her the popsicle lady. I will miss chatting with her. Rest in peace Irene. My heartfelt condolences.

I have just learned of your mom's passing. My heart is filled with sorrow as I offer you my deep condolences. Barb, I have many fond memories of your mom that surface from our adventurous teenage years. She was a wonderful lady. As years went by she crossed my path often. Everytime I saw her she always had a kind word and a motherly smile.

The Freedman Family

Although my parents may have known Morris and Irene for a lot longer, I got to know them when I began going to school with Richard in 1971. I made an instant connection. From that point on, I was a frequent visitor at their house. They always made me feel so welcome.

After Morris passed away and, later, my father, Irene remained a good friend to my mother.

My wife, Agnès, and I remained in contact with Irene over the years. We were pleased to see her whenever she visited North Bay, when would catch up on the Freedman family news.

Irene had many good qualities. The one I think we appreciated the most was her lack of pretense. Irene was a no-nonsense sort of person. She was genuine. What you saw was what you got. And you got a lot.

We know that Irene will be dearly missed by everyone who knew her, especially her family. We offer our sincerest condolences on such a great loss. May you be comforted knowing that you are not alone.

Gregory Ellies, le 2 mars 2022
