From Jen Simpson

I've had the great pleasure of working along side Ilana at Banner Thunderbird for a couple years now. Ilana is like a bright light shining in the darkness. Wherever she is and whatever she is doing, she exudes this amazing positive energy that is so contagious, you can't help but to be happy too. It's her big eyes, beautiful smile, giddiness and sweetness. I've never heard her complain or whine about the day she was having or patients. She always sees the silver lining in everything. She is the most selfless, caring and considerate person I have ever known. She inspires me to be a better person and to never take anything for granted. I know her boys will grow up to be amazing people too just because they have had someone as wonderful as her in their lives even if for a short while. God bless Ilana. I love you and miss you girly! God bless Ben and Matthew and Andrew, and Ilana's whole family. I pray for you all as you grieve this momentuous loss
