We would like to extend our sincerest sympathies to the Bippart family on the sad passing of Irene :) we shared alot of good times working with her
at Hemmings . I'll always remember her as a hard working woman with a heart full of compassion & a love for "Aerosmith " lol a memory of your Mom I had that made me smile when i heard the sad news . She used to rock out when "DUDE LOOKED LIKE A LADY "came on the radio when we were working. We hope that memories of good times and loved shared help ease the pain and comfort you through this difficult time . god bless

I so remember the great times at Long Valley when we were young. Aunt Irene as one of the most kind, gentle and loving woman I have ever known. I will always remember her with great love and affection. I so remember my Mom talking for hours on the phone, each of them telling about their families and enjoying the conversation. She held such a special place in Mom's heart.

Dear Bippart family,
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your dear mother, Irene. Even though we have not been together for some time, we still have memories of her kind, loving spirit and what a wonderful mother Aunt Irene was.
It has been wonderful to reconnect our families thru Facebook and to be able to touch base with each other.
Please remember that death is not the end, but rather, the start of a new phase of our existence. Our souls are eternal and Aunt Irene will always be there watching over you all and sending you her energy to face each new day. We were all blessed to know her peaceful, happy spirit and can rejoice in the wonderful memories she gave us all. God bless you all as you wish her well on her continuing journey ,
