First time in 55.5 yrs that I didn't spend Thanksgiving with my mom & all the visiting family. I miss you, Mom & Daddy, more than I could ever express.
For all the bday sons she sang
I am very sad to hear of the passing of Aunt Ilona. My deepest condolences 🙏❤️
I will always remember her giggle as well as her annual phone calls with a birthday song! She had a way of being so matter of fact but with the biggest heart!
My children remember spending time sitting on Mamaw's lap.....perhaps with a toy that Papaw had brought home!
My deepest sympathies to the Napier family on the loss of your Mom, Aunt, grandmother and best friend. Every time she visited she lit up the room with her laugh and beautiful smile. Everyone that met her LOVED her for her compassion and caring which will live on through her daughter Sheley and niece Melissa! So glad God made our paths cross to have each one of you (including Ilona) lead me back to Christ. God comforts us so we may comfort others. Prayers of peace and comfort-the angels are rejoicing!
Love from Laura Brindza
I've not said anything yet because quite frankly I didn't know what to say. But it's been a whole week since this beautiful woman left us. My foundation has been rocked to its core. Losing pap nearly 6 years ago and now mamaw...it's feeling impossible to find my footing. They were everything. They were my solid ground and I'm not sure yet how to navigate a world without them. I never wanted to have to and foolishly never imagined a time where I'd have to. My beautiful mamaw, I love you dearly. I always admired you, every amazing quality you embodied. Thank you for showing me what it feels like to be unconditionally loved, without judgement. Thank you for always being there for me, my entire life, without question. Thank you for being you. I'll miss you always. I'll hold you in my heart always. And I'll forever love you. 💔
Ilona was one of my favorite sisters of my Grandma. Some of them scared me, but she was always so kind. It has been such a long time since I have seen her but I can still remember her laugh. She always seemed so easy going.
I remember all the fun that we had when I got to stay down at her house. You all are in my thoughts.
Ilona welcomed me into her home every time I showed up. Always smiling. Always loving. She had such patience with a house full of teenagers/20 somethings. She never spoke a harsh word. She never made me feel like a burden. She treated me like one of her own. Fed me; cared for me. She was a true Proverbs 31 woman and she has left a tremendous void in this world of ours.
From Carter Caves to Camden Park, you and mom made sure we had wonderful memories! Growing up, you gave the best motherly advice and made the best candy! My kids always thought you were their Mamaw! You are what we all should aspire to be! A kind and loving person! You are loved and will be missed!
