From Shilo Butler, a fellow nurse at Banner Thunderbird

Ilana, you were full of life and charisma and your smile was infectious! You were an amazing nurse and enjoyed helping people, but you also had a wonderful passion of helping women through their battle with cancer and the effects is has on their physical appearance. My mom was one that was blessed by your passion. She is a breast cancer survivor and had breast reconstruction. You encouraged me to bring her to your family's shop and although she was a little hesitant, we came. Your smile and warm heart made her feel welcome right away. You helped her feel comfortable in her own body again. We are very sorry to see you go and will miss your warm heart, smile and love that you shared so freely.
