She was the only person I ever let call me Peter Cottontail. I loved her dearly and will miss her tremendously.

Ialeen was a cousin, my mother's sister's daughter.

We rarely met; however, I do want to send my best wishes to her sister's family during this time of sorrow.

Ialeene did not give birth to any children, yet she would raise hundreds of children through the years. She was a beautiful, loving, and giving lady. You were a part of our family dearest Aileen. Rest in paradise dear lady.
