Heaven is a whole lot sweeter now that Ilene has entered Heaven's Gate. We will all miss her delicate home-made chocolates and the many cookie recipes she shared. Yes, these special treats followed us all the way to Bonita Springs, FL. Precious gifts from the talented Ilene. Ilene's gifts included incredible sewing skills.
Elizabeth treasures her commissioned mid-evil dress custom made for a school event and the time spent with Mrs. Erdman. We received memorable Paganini potholders and apron.
Ilene took professional pictures of our girls for their graduations.
Jennifer acquired quite the educational experience cutting Mrs. Erdman's lawn and pulling weeds weekly. Jennifer is grateful for her time shared.
Saying goodbye is never easy, so, we say "Peace Be With You Ilene". We will hold you close in our hearts forever, dear friend.
