Aunt Irene, what a beautiful soul you were. You never failed to show your love, even if words wouldn’t come. I will miss your smile so much, you taking my hand and putting it against your cheek, saying “sit down, sit down.” How many wonderful memories I have of sitting across from you at the kitchen table watching your face light up with that smile. You welcomed me into your home and into the family years ago and always made me feel like I was one of your own. You welcomed us into your home when we moved back to New York and into the upstairs apartment. I will miss you more than I can say, and I will treasure the memories of those times together always. My heart is heavy from saying goodbye, but I have joy knowing that you are together again with Aunt Katie and my mother-in-law in heaven. May your memory be eternal ❤️

I knew my beautiful cousin Irene from the time I was born. I was lucky to know her, she was special. Her beauty exceeded face and form, it was inner beauty that made anyone who knew her, love her and I loved her. I will always remember her warm smile, her loving nature, her selflessness and overwhelming generosity. I recall, her wedding day, she looked like a princess to me. As busy as she was on that special day, she found time to make an awkward little flower girl feel special too. That was Irene's gift. She made everyone feel special. May her memory be eternal and her soul be with God and the angels.

Dear sister, that is what you were to me. Your smile, your love, your sincerity will always be remembered. Going back in time, I remember when you wanted to learn how to drive. I was only 17 and there I was taking you out for driving lessons. I felt so good to give you something back, since you gave so much to me and others. You were so calm about many things. Your arguments and discussions were legit otherwise you did not say much, which made me think 'I wanted to be just like you.' Your we're blessed with three beautiful children that continue your legacy. I am glad we are part of this great family. Your beautiful smile will always be in my heart and in my mind for ever. God Bless you.

My Dear Aunt Irene, You were an am amazing woman, I know that I am the woman that I am today because I was blessed to grow up in a home with you, grandma and my mom. You ladies were the epitome of strong woman. I know you had your limitations but you were witty and sharp and always smiled no matter what. You never gave up and never asked for pitty, you were resilient even when life was at its most difficult. I know that after mom died everything changed, it was just too hard, our weekly outings for lunch and to Queens with you and my mom were the happiest times for me, and i know that you enjoyed them that is how simple you were, just happy to be thought of. Happy when i would bring you a blueberry muffin, or a black coffee or tea, or a Knish from when of our favorite delis or a trip to St Irenes. I know that you and your sister, are finally together again and that is the only thing that brings me comfort, I know she was waiting for you and that you are both finally at peace together, without the pain of what this life bestowed on both of you. You are loved, missed, cherished, loved and admired for all that you taught us, and I am lucky to have had you in my life. I love you! Forever Gina or as you called me many times and I smile now and say "hey you with the glasses"

Aunt Irene was someone we all wished we could be. She was each of us at our best. She had a heart of gold, she was selfless, she shared in our joys and cried in our sorrows. She was generous with her love and with her home. She was genuine, never shy to tell you what was on her mind. My Mom would say if you ever want to hear the truth, Ask Irene! Aunt Irene's smile would fill a room. Her gaze would provide comfort. Irene never wanted to be a burden during holidays. She selflessly would choose to stay home. Unfortunately, all those times she stayed home there is not a person that, like today, wished she wasn't with us. As she aged, aunt Irene would talk less and less and hear less and less, too. But looking at her, holding her hand, smiling with her, goofing with her, agitating her to get a reaction, getting here to cross her fingers in that weird way, there is no-one I would rather spend an afternoon with. It was difficulty seeing aunt Irene age from one visit to the next. Family would see her regularly, but I would see her age in stages. When I visited her in December, she was bed bound and out of sorts. I smiled at her laying in bed and told her, "we're having a baby" She sprang to life. Smiled from ear to ear and said "BABY!!!" pointed at me and said, "YOU!!! Awwwwwwww... Baaaaaabbby!!!" Love you Aunt Irene, and thank you for demonstrating how good a person can be. To the Drakopoulos Family, I pray for peace and strength. May Irene's memory live eternal.

To my loving aunt. I should not say aunt more like loving mother. I am grateful for everything you have done for me through out my life. You treated me like a son we were all your children. If I could say one more thing to you I would say be proud be proud of the children you have raised and your grandchildren. We are all a reflection of your hard work and sacrifice. I know mom is waiting for you with open arms and I picture that moment over and over. I am grateful you will be together forever. I can’t keep an eye on mom as much as I would like but I know you will. Rest In piece. I love you always.

Dearest Mom Words can not express how much I'm going to miss you. You were such a gentle soul with an innocence about you. You were always selfless and always put the needs of your children before your own. You did without so we could have. You worked hard and always made sure we were clothed fed and that there was always something under the tree for us to open on Christmas morning. These traits I inherited from you that I do for my own children family and friends. Unfortunately you didn't have the easiest life and the hand that God dealt you wasn't fair and you didn't deserve it. But even after you got sick your demeanor never changed. You were still the same loving caring person and not once did you complain or ever say why me. Even though you didn't have much you always made people feel welcome and put a smile on their face. I will always remember how your face would light up every time you saw me Greg John our spouses and especially the grandchildren. You would eagerly await the weekend because you knew we would be by to see you. You appreciated family and the little things in life. I remember how something as little as us bringing you a cup of Dunkin' Donuts coffee would put a smile on your face. You have touched everyone's life that you have come into contact with. You are finally reunited with your parents beloved sister and all family that have passed on. I know Aunt Katie greeted you in heaven with a big bowl of spaghetti and meat sauce. Rest In Peace dear mother. I know that you have earned your wings because you were an angel here on Earth. My wish for you now to have eternal peace and that you are free and not held back like you were here. I love you mom.

My Dearest Irene, As I sit here today I remember all the fun times we had in Albany Avenue. I always looked up to my big cousins Irene and Kathleen. I remember the closeness the two of you had and I remember all the fun times we all had together. The laughter in the house, and not when I was getting yelled at but we were all together and that is what really mattered to us all. You are now with Katie and she is at the gates with her arms wide open welcoming you into heaven. You are with her again but she no longer has to care for you because you are yourself again as you were when you were young. You can again have all of the fun you always did with your sister and best friend. That’s how I will always remember you. Know that you are a special person who never complains about your situation and that you are loved very much by us all. Your are at peace now, rest my dear cousin until we are together again. Just know how special you and Katie were in my life and how much I looked up to both of you and love you. We will never forget you, you will always be alive in all of our hearts. May you Rest In Peace. Your loving cousin, Ellyn

Very sorry for the loss of Irene. She was a wonderful and amazing person. I've known her for 20 or more years and have visited and been around her for quite some time. She will always be in my thoughts and prayers, rest in piece.
