Lila Kimball Obituary
2010 ~ 2014
Salt Lake City, UT-On April 26th 2014 Lila Patricia Kimball was welcomed back into her Heavenly Father's loving arms. Baby Lila was born July 27th 2010 in Salt Lake City Utah to a family that could not have loved her more.
Her rare syndrome made most basic activities impossible. Eventually her fragile body lost the fight. Our little girl passed away peacefully in her sleep at home in her spot.
Lila's angelic smiles and heavenly nature are recognized throughout the country and across oceans. Her perfect example of love, patience, and gratitude will be a constant by those who know and love her. She can now sing and dance, run and laugh.
Lila is survived by her most honored parents Quinn and Kristi and baby sister Ruby as well, and grandparents, aunts, uncles, cousins and friends whose lives will be forever better for having loved her.
We extend a special thanks to Lila's pediatrician. All the doctors, nurses and staff who treated our little girl as they would their own.
Funeral services will be held Saturday, May 3, 2014 at the Hillcrest Ward, 5600 South Fashion Boulevard (435 East) at 12:00 noon. A viewing will be held Friday from 6-8 p.m. and Saturday from 10:30-11:30 a.m. at the church. Interment will be at Wasatch Lawn, 3401 South Highland Drive.
Funeral Directors are Russon Brothers Mortuary, Salt Lake.
Online quest book is available at www.russonmortuary.com.

I saw it when I was in having my eyes checked and you were playing her, and the way you talked about her and how she is doing and about her little sister and how much they love each other. My heart and prayers go out to you and your family. Love you

I don't know how to express what I'm feeling inside. My husband has multiple seizures every day, even after having part of his brain removed 18 months ago and taking 4 or 5 meds daily. I can not even imagine your pain and frustration. But the love that comes across in Lila's obituary is stronger than any thing else on this earth.

So sorry to hear of the passing of beautiful litte Lila. I came across this quote recently and wanted to share with you.

We cannot fully appreciate joyful reunions later without tearful separations now. The only way to take sorrow out of death would be to take love out of life.

May you both be strengthened at this sorrowful time.

As a special educator for the Murray District I got to know Lila and her family. She made such a great impression on me in the short time I was fortunate enough to work with her...her smile was memorable and her little giggle will be with me always. My sincere condolences on your great loss. Please know I'm thinking of you!
Sincerely,

I'm so sorry to hear about Lila's passing. Brady, Quinn's brother, shared her story with me over a year ago and I was impressed with the love and kindness with which he spoke about her. Please let us know if there is a foundation researching Vici Syndrome that we can donate to to honor this beautiful girl.

My heart just sunk when I saw this. It's been a very long time since I've seen either of you, but I wanted you to know my thoughts are with you. In this difficult time and in times to come, I hope you are able to find peace for your hearts and souls.

As a parent of another rare child, I am absolutely heartbroken but also know that she is free of any pain that she had to endure. Its so nice to have that knowledge that she will be waiting for you on the other side with her arms wide open, standing on her own and full of zest and love. May your grief be eased. Your little miss is missed and your whole family has inspired families of rare children.

It broke my heart to hear about Lila's passing Kristi. From the day she was born, I always thought she was so beautiful. I loved reading about her patience and happy attitude on your blog. She touched my heart in many ways, and so did you an Quinn with your examples of faith. Lila has always been in my prayers, but now I am praying for you and Quinn and Ruby. I am sad to be out of town this week and miss the funeral. May our loving Heavenly Father bring you comfort and blessings during this difficult time
