I miss you Lila - I have such fond memories of us working at the bank together. My fondest memory is of you telling Nancy and me not to throw tomatoes as baseballs at work - She told us " Someday we will have to pay for them ". She was always such a joy and full of fun. I also have great memories of Herb and Lila's Halloween parties. I will miss you Lila - Someday we will be together!!! Cathy and Blake

"One of a kind", doesn't do justice to describe Lila Hammond. She was so much more than that. She would smile that smile and allways have that sparkle in her eye. If you knew her you know what I'm talking about, and if you didn't know her you really missed out on something special. My life is more that I have known her. Love you Lila and I'll see ya when I see ya.Till then, All My Love, Marcus
