  Seeing the picture of Iris and reading her obituary, as sad as it was, brought a flood of wonderful memories. Iris was very much Second Mother to a young, single Cape Breton lad so far from home! Upon my arrival in Clairmont I was taken immediately to see Iris and Clarence at what became my second home. Iris very soon became my confidant, my comforter, and a great source of strength. On day two, she took me in the car and drove me all over that ridiculously massive pastoral charge: to Hythe, Valhalla, Sexsmith and, of course, Clairmont. We stopped here and there to meet some of the folks with whom I would be working and to see the church in Hythe as, by then, the Sexsmith Church was no longer in use. In the three years of my stay in Alberta, Iris and I spent many happy hours together. We worked together producing the Annual Report (the first one containing cartoons!), making plans for various church functions, and stealing time from farm and church to just sit and chat. and, I admit, my feet were under her table more than they were anyone else's. I could tell so many stories of Iris and Clarence and their love and hospitality. But at the centre of it all was Iris's devotion to her church and the fact that here was a woman who put action to her words of commitment. I think often of those days in Alberta and my thoughts inevitable take me to the dining room with Iria and Clarence. she has blessed me and my memories of her continue to do so. Rev. Eric Lynk (Minister at Hythe and Clairmont 1980 - 1983).
