May You Rest in Peace, beautiful Lila Beth - you will always be in my heart. Love, Sharon Kidd

Lila lived her life as a true christian and was a living example to so many, including me. She was loved by all who came in contact with her. Her Christmas letters made the season complete. She will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Prayers are with your family at this time. May God comfort you during this difficult time. Gloria and Kurt Bauernfeind

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief. May your memories bring you comfort.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...

Christmas without Lila's Christmas letter--she will be missed much by all blessed to have known her.
Deepest sympathy and love to the family.

I will truly miss Mrs. Voss. What an inspirational and highly respected role model to everyone whom she met. I looked forward to seeing the twinkle in her eyes and sweet smile on her face at church and to enjoying the laughter that almost always ensued during conversation with her.
