We are so saddened to learn of Lila Rea's passing. Although it's been many years since we've seen you guys we still have memories of those wonderful days in our church family in Ft.Meade back in the 50's and 60's. God Bless you and keep you strong in the coming days and years. You will have many wonderful memories of your life with Lila Rae. She was a precious woman, mother, wife and friend of the church.
