When I met Iris,

When I met Iris we were both sixteen years old. We were both attending night school at Palmetto High School, trying to complete high school to get our diplomas. I met her in the bathroom, we were both adjusting our make up. We became instant friends. A few days later as I went over to her house, Iris' mother told us of a new place called Morey's that plays music. So one night Iris and I got all dolled up, looking at least eighteen, and we went to Morey's steak house. The food there was great but the music was even better. And on the very first night we met two handsome guys that also loved to dance. One Walter Van der Veer and the other, Harold Roth. Both dynamic dancers and Iris and I also loved to dance. The music was good, the dance partners supreme, before you know it we were nightly regulars, well known to all.
Iris was a very free spirit. She had big goals for her life. She didn't talk to just any guy. Her standards were very high. She was a loyal and dedicated friend. We went out for many years together. Always in a very Hollywood type fashion. Matching outfits, whatever it took, to assure our roles as the queens of the club. Iris adored her children, as do I. Iris will be forever beautiful. Forever loved.....and missed.
