Uncle Tony and Aunt Ilean
Aunt Ilean it is hard to believe you are no longer with us. You had a big personality and you never met a stranger. You loved to talk to everyone and you always found humor in things. We shared interests like reading, gardening, and shopping. We both loved the color blue and, a love of music. I will remember the times when mom and I went to visit you, and you cooked your delicious food for us. Thanks for taking us around Smithfield where we explored the shops and had a great time. You loved...

My sister Ilean always looked out for me when we were growing up. I was the baby in the family and she was always like a mother hen. Our lives led us to different places, but we always got together when we could. We also shared many wonderful telephone conversations where we always had plenty to talk about, and we had many laughs together. The Medlin family had humor and Ilean could always make people laugh. She was a loving sister and I am glad for all the times we shared together. I love you.
