    Ilene, what a special friend. Our hearts are crying and it’s hard to put in words how to say goodbye. We will miss you dearly but we know that we will see you again. We can’t help but feel joy knowing that you are with your loved ones passed and present. Your girls are so beautiful and sweet as you were. When we look at them we will always see and remember you. You were always there when we needed you for ANYTHING! One of the kindest ladies God ever put on the face of this Earth. Can’t wait to see you and Mike again in Glory. Love the Davis Family
