Ilona´s brief illness and passing has been very touching for me.
She was a very good friend to my daughter Alice, Alice´s second Mum as Ilona would say.
What an amazing lady she must have been.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ilona once when Alice was working with her at Fern Fuel.
I know Alice is missing Ilona terribly.
So sad and unfair.
Sincere heartfelt Sympathy to Kelly, Samantha, Zoe and family.
