Words cannot express the sadness I feel at the transition of my dear friend Iris. My sincerest condolences to the Fisher and Godette families. Iris was like a sister to me, from growing up next to her grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Herb and Zelmyra Fisher in James City community, to our matriculation to NCState, and then to our homes being close to each other in Bowie, MD. I was so looking forward to her recovery and rehabilitation as I visited with her in the hospital after the accident and she was getting better. We laughed and reminisced for about an hr. I will miss you my sister. Thank you for all the encouragement and uplift through the years. With love and appreciation your friend/brother, Marv Credle
My heart goes out to Myron and the entire Godette Family, Iris was a cousin and a friend. I hope your beautiful memories will help you through this difficult time. We share in your sorrow.

I'm going to miss you which is why this is difficult for me to understand. How we met was only divine my God an I am so grateful for our union. When I lost my mother you made yourself so available to me even while dealing with your own grief. We never got to do lunch again but just know I will forever cherish what you have been in my life. Take your rest as you have finally got to be with the two most important people in your life once more and again. I love you
