    I am praying for your family to find comfort, peace, and joy. Ilene was always good to me and very helpful. I really appreciated her. I came by yesterday afternoon but could not stay. The line and the wait were too long. This is a sign of her far-reaching influence and the love others have for her. God bless you.
