I love and miss you Mema. 11 years wasn't enough time with you, but I am so thankful for the memories we made together. I think about you frequently and reading through these messages from all these people really put it into perspective of how great you were. I am so incredibly blessed to be your granddaughter and hope to be half the person you were one day.
I love and miss you so much,
Kimble

Darbee Family- I had the privilege of going to Russia w/ Mrs. Darbee & Dacia through the 1994/95 exchange program. I have fond memories of our time spent together during that time. I'm sorry to hear of your loss. My sympathy goes out to your family. May fond memories someday replace the loss you feel now. Sincerely ~ Traci Tappe (VanSickle)

Bob, Dacia & Michael: Ilene has left such a legacy of love and light. She had such a positive caring way about her and you could tell she took a lot of joy in giving to others. It was such fun to be around her and she always made me feel welcome. I am so sorry that she's gone. You and your beautiful families are in my thoughts and prayers.

Bob, so sorry to hear about Ilene. I got to know her when she was the senior advisor at All Saints. She was such a nice person. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Coach Darbee, Dacia, Mike and your families -
Your mother was a truly kind person who was an inspiration for all. May the thoughts and prayers of all those that were touched by her be with you during this challenging time.

Love,

Dear Bob, Dacia and Mike,
Kyle and I just heard today of your losing Ilene. What a hole she has left in your lives, but what wonderful memories you have to sustain you. We wish you strength to go ahead in your lives without your lovely Ilene.

Mr Darbee, Dacia and Mike. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I have always thought very highly of your family. Mrs Darbee was a very caring and special person and will be missed.

Mr. Darbee, Dacia, & Mike,
You are in my thoughts & prayers. Ever since the pasta party at your house one summer when I was 11 or 12 years old, I have loved spaghetti pie, which Mrs. Darbee had made for us. She sent the recipe home with me because I loved it so much, and my mom has been making it for me ever since... even now, when she visits, she bakes one up and freezes it for me (we had some this week)! I always think of your family when I enjoy it.
Love,
Tamara (Carty)...
