This picture of Ilona from days before her passing was taken by her friend Pat and shared with me.
Here’s one from October 1st, during my final visit with her. She was happy and ready to say goodbye to all her loved ones.
Please feel free to add stories, comments, and pictures to this post to honor Ilona, who left this world in peace and on her own terms on October 2nd.
