Today we will gather with family & friends to say good-bye and honor the most amazing woman "my precious mother".
Greg, Margaret & I were so Blessed to have you for our mother. You instilled the love of God in our hearts, taught us many real values in life like honesty, integrity & forgiveness. And these things were not taught just by words but by example! Thank you for being such a wonderful loving grandmother to my children and grandchildren. I pray that the precious memories they have of you will mend their broken hearts-you were everything to them. As each day passes may we find comfort in knowing that we are 1 day closer to being reunited with you in heaven.
I love you and miss you.

I remember the O'Campo's when they were in the restaurant business. George and Lila were one of a kind. Always gracious and easy to be around. Good people. May your memories of this wonderful woman bring you comfort.

Lila was my boyfriend, Albert's grandmother, she was a loving person that I will never forget. She made me feel like family and that is hard to come by, I'm going to miss her getting on Albert for not wearing a sweater when it was cold or her getting on him for making me do all the hard work around the house... She made a place in my heart and I hope one day I could be the woman she was. Love you Lila, I will take care of your little Albert.
