This message is from Betty Jane and Bob Klein, son of Josephine Slesinski Klein and Lewis Klein. We are so sorry to hear of Irene's passing. I am proud to say I was an usher in Irene and John's wedding. We have lived away from Pittsburgh a long time, we live in Ohio, but still remember family. Our deepest sympathy.
