Illaree was a wonderful sister/sister-in-law. She was so kind and thoughtful. We have enjoyed many laughs and visits over the years. She fought her illness with dignity and strength and never gave up hope. Her words were "well, it could be worse". She set an example for all of us to follow. We will miss her deeply. Love, Troy & Jan
Kim, Mel, and Tracy,You and your families have been and will continue to be in our prayers. Illaree was a wonderful woman. She has left an amazing legacy in you all, her family. We are so thankful that she had such a strong faith to help her and you through this. To say she will be missed greatly is an understatement.. Thinking of past visits, I think her laugh is what I will miss the most. When Glady's Girls got together, the laughter was always there. God Bless, Love, Donna and Lee Foster
I send my deepest sympathy to the family of Illaree. Although I haven't been with her in many years, I think of her often. She was a very special lady. She and Bill always made me feel special and loved in their home. She was such a graceful lady. She will truly be missed. Nelda Kates
We mourn, but only for ourselves. Imaginations can run rampant imagining her rejoicing with Bill, her mother and dad, and others she is reuniting with now. Having known her all her life I can only think good thoughts of her. She had so much love for her parents and was such a good daughter to them, so much love for her family and was such a good wife and mother and mother-in- law as she always had enough love for all. My memories of how good she was to my parents will always be with me. They loved her so much, too. She was even triumphant during her sickness and death, never loosing that sweet and loving attitude and trying to make it easier for everyone else. And she succeeded at that, too. She has truly left and wonderful legacy.
My heart goes out to you kids because I really do know how you feel. Illaree ws a very special lady and will be greatly missed. I'm just so grateful that she is with Jesus and is reunited with her beloved sweetheart. Just know that our thoughts and prayers are with you. Bev and David Polk
