Lila,

I'm at a complete loss for words. You were my voice of reason and wisdom. You always had my back even when you knew I was wrong. Your love was unconditional. When mom passed last year, we said, "Well, it's just you and me now sister." I expected us to grow old together and talk about our childhood memories for years to come. Then you were suddenly taken away from me. I know not everyone believes in Heaven or life after death. But, I have to believe that I will see you, Debbie, mama and daddy again. It's the only way I'm going to be able to take another step forward day by day until God is ready to take me home. I´m going to miss you...your smile, laughter and unending weird sense of humor. You are no longer in pain, struggling every day and suffering. You are at peace and I now have 4 angels watching over me. I love you Lila. You're always going to be in my broken heart. Rest in Peace sister.

What can I say to an amazing wonderful friend. I will cherish all of the memories, laughs that we shared over the years.

I know that you are in a better place.

With deepest sympathy.
