Sending prayers to the Aleksic – Ryan family. Your Mother was a wonderful woman even though we hadn’t been in touch in many years. Family meant so much to her, this I know. Miss all of you and I’ll send hugs to comfort you.
I so sorry to learn of Irene’s passing. Irene & I grew up together in the Croatian community of Cleveland. My parents, Branko & Marijanka Yirka were good friends of Greta and Ivica Aleksic. We spent many happy times together. My sincere condolences to her siblings, Johnny and Margaret and her children. May she rest in peace.
