Not sure what to say?

Dear Engelfried family, I remember Lila so well when your Dad and she were first married. We would see them at Betty and Fred´s house when my Mom and Dad were invited. Your Mom was so pretty and Fred, was so studious looking. They were a handsome couple. What a beautiful family they created. I am sorry for your loss. Lila was fortunate to have you kids as companions. She led a blessed life with such a big family. It´s never easy to lose your Mother. May you remember the good times and laugh...

My condolences to Lila´s children - Lori, Meg, Kathy, Bruce, Steven, Sally, and Mike and to their respective families. I have such wonderful memories of having extended visits to your family home in San Jose when we were all so much younger. Lila was always so welcoming to me and made me feel at home. I´m so glad I got to see her again over the recent years at our `cousin´ brunch/lunch events. Her smile and grace will be fondly remembered.

Lila had a love for the water. 3 days per week she would attend NuWave, which is a group of people who exercised in the water. Rain or shine, Lila would be there. Many stories were heard about her amazing family. Lila, you are so loved and missed.

So sorry to hear this news.....I last spoke with Lila at my sister´s memorial in January......she was as vibrant as ever as we recalled people and events of the past, but she clearly was engaged in the present. My condolences to her family....a life well lived.
