Not sure what to say?

We miss her every day. Rick, Harriet & Rhonda (American House)

Knowing Lila was an honor and a blessing . May her name be a blessing for generations to come.

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I knew Lila from American House and kept in contact when she moved. She was a wonderful friend.

I have fond memories of time spent with Lila and Jim when I was social worker for Eastern Group Home. Lila was a wonderful woman.

May God Bless Lisa's family in this time of sorrow. Bill and Jessie Doren.

I´m so sorry to know Lila isn´t here anymore. When I heard she´d passed away, the first thing I thought was of Jim, and how happy he must be now. As if heaven could get better. I was recalling the one morning at work, before the ladies were up, when Jim told me he´d had a most terrifying dream. He dreamt he was in a crowd and could not find Lila. Anywhere. Worst dream ever. It really bothered him! He´s been waiting a long time to share heaven with her. She will be missed by us....
