I am so sorry to hear about Mrs Dils passing. Mrs Dils was our(my parents)next door neighbor in North Ridge. She was always doing yard work, always available for a cup of sugar or eggs. She came to my wedding and I introduced her to my daughters. She painted me a painting and I baked with her. I will miss her. I would often drive by Royal Oaks and hope to see her doing yard work just to say hi and see how she was doing. She always said she enjoyed volunteering in the library at the high school and working with students. She was a fiesty, fearless, strong, great lady, and a wonderful neighbor.
