Sweet Lyla was my neighbor back in the day in Edwardsville, Ill. I was young---with kids and a husband working long hrs. She became my friend and listened to my tales of woe with my new-found life of husband-babies-and-and stay-at-home status!!! Many a night I found solace at her kitchen table, a cup of coffee and she listening to my daily woes!!! If Don was in off the road he was also a wonderful listener!!

Dear Darnell Family,
I dont know if you will remember me, but I certainly remember you all. I was in the same class as the twins at Church. I was so sorry to read of your Mothers passing. I will put you in my prayers.

Dear Family, So many times throughout these many years I have wondered how all of you are doing and wished I could still just run up the street and visit with all of you!! Lyla was my hero during my early years of marriage and motherhood. I'll never forget her. Please take care of one another. You are all in our thoughts and prayers. Colleen and Homer Graham
