Ilene M. McBride

Tom, TJ, Ethan, Ilene is a special friend to us and we have so many happy memories of her. We hold her close in our heart. We send prayers that you will find comfort and remember how much she is loved. We look forward to seeing you soon, and hope that we can be at the next OI event to honor Ilene and all that she did for the cause. We send our love, prayers and wishes for comfort for you all.

Tom, TJ, Ethan,
I am so sorry for your loss, Ilene was a wonderful wife, mother, and woman. She will be long-remembered by many. I hope that her wish to find a cure for OI will some day be granted. You have many happy memories and photos of good times together along with family, friends, and your faith in God to help get you through this now and in the future. Please call anytime.

I knew Ilene and Tom through my daughter, Dianne Rosemark. We have all been praying for a miracle.

I am so sorry she has lost her battle for her life.

Her fight to live shall not be in vain. Ilene's greatest hope was for a cure for Ethan's genetic disorder. We will honor her memory and celebrate her life, by donating to the OI FOUNDATION.

I had come to know Ilene's battles, challenges and struggles through my daughter CHristine Wyman Rossi and their mutual goal to find a cure for OI. Ilene was an amazing woman and after every visit to Ilene Chrissy would come home and share Ilene's amazing spirit and detrmination. Her spirit will live on in every OI event.
