Lila Jean, You were truly one of a kind. I couldn't ask for a better mother-in-law. The days ahead are certainly not the same without you in them, but my heart will hold many happy memories of you and the times we've spent together. Always, Connie

I have had the pleasure of bowling with the Wulff family on Saturday night for 10+ years. They are a wonderful family. I was blessed to have known Lila, if only for a short time. My thoughts and prayers are with the Wulff family. Lots of love and peace . .

Wulff Family:
I was blessed enough to have been around the Wulff family for many years. Lila's granddaughter Abby and I have been the best of friends for most of our lives.
The Wulff family is the most caring and loving family you could ask for. Lila was no exception; she was always involved with her family and made me feel welcome at every family event.
Your family is in my thoughts and prayers in this very difficult time. Please let me know if there is anything I can do at this time.
