Irene was a disciplinarian who had no problem with decreeing and declaring that “I brought you into this world and I will take you out.” Love-and-discipline was the theme of her life as a mother, and at the same time she was fun and very understanding. She was an upfront Mama Bear. She took nurturing her kids and extended family’s children very seriously....Irene would stress that having the surname JERELDS meant understanding the importance of “representing the brand” and conducting ones self
accordingly.
