Aunt Irma was my favorite great aunt. I was sorry my family and I could not attend her services, but we will always remember her fondly.
With a cryful heart to say good bye to a very special and wonderful great aunt. But knowing that we shall see her face and talk with her again in glory, makes that heart glad for now. Sorry that our family could not be there. With all our thoughts, love and prayers. Wendy, Denny, Trey, Emily Dingus and Katie and Brian Heiser
Irma was one of a kind. I remember her and Charlie at the store as a little girl. When I became older and started dating Joe, I think she and I both fell in love with him. She kidded me about keeping him close when she was around. The last time I saw her several years ago she ask about hubby and our son. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Radford family at this time.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you during your time of loss.
I will have to keep in my memory all the wonderful times Aunt Irma and I shared over the years. She will always remain special to me. She knew everyone in Asheville by name and I think everyone knew her.
Aunt Irma’s neice, Betty & family
I was just a little tot when Charlie and Erma were married. The first thing I remember was that Charlie threatened to put me in a mail box! They were both loving and made me happy to just be around them. In fact the Radford family was our closest friends when we grew up together. Louise and I send our condolences and prayers for the family at the loss of another of their wonderful family.
As a life long neighbor and friend I will miss Irma so much. We grew up together–my sisters and hers- What wonderful memories—Family you are in my prayers–I am sorry for your precious loss.
