Priscilla, my Mom and I send our condolences to you all...Aunt Lytle and I exchanged cards each Christmas for most of the last few years and I enjoyed hearing her updates and passed them on to my mother. We were not able to attend the service, but I hope this reaches you, and you are certainly in our thoughts. I still have a lovely silver punch ladle that she gave me in 1971 and I always think of her when I polish it for use....she will be missed... sincerely, Kathleen Eaton Colton and Hanny Eaton

Lytle made my Uncle Walt the happiest man on earth. And I never really knew how to bake beans until I met her.

Lytle married my wife and I on Christmas Eve, 2007. We didn't know her very well, but she was very good to us, and got us started on married life with a good laugh. Wish her and her family the best...
