Dear Jessica and Wayne:

Ilene touched our lives throughout the 15+ years that we had the honor of knowing her and her family through Jessica & Sasha's Friendship as well as other events through the school and community. She especially made a difference in Shane's life in the three years she worked with him through Medinah's Special Ed. She was a wonderful person whom we will miss dearly and remember always.
Our Deepest Condolences,

Casey, Bette, Stephanie, Spencer & Shane Hunt

Jessica, Mr. Meyers and family,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Your mother touched us in a very special way. We did not know she was ill, every day she was always so upbeat and cheerful, I never would have guessed she was struggling with this illness.
If I did know she was so ill, I would have made a point to tell her how very lucky I felt having her at the school watching over my children. She truly cared about each and every one of them; she was a very special woman. There will be a huge void for us at school without her presence there.
She left us all with so many wonderful memories.
May you find comfort in your many memories with her. God bless you all during this very difficult time. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
