I will remember Lila on many levels, certainly her devotion to the epilepsy movement and her "Toast of the Town". I will always remember the phone calls from Lila and Shirley. One would always be in the background sharing the conversation. Lila will truly be missed by all. My deepest sympathy to Shirley and Lila's family.
