Lila will surely be missed see was like a fixture at our church we will miss her.
Bob and Sandy, There is not enough space on this page for what I could say about Lila. Lila was a special Lady. A very Godly woman who loved her Lord and lived it. Lila had great faith in her Lord. She always had encouraging words to make you feel better. Lila was a prayer warrior. Whenever we talked on the phone she would say, I’m praying for you. She would say I don’t know why the Lord is keeping me here. I would tell her because He knows I need your prayers. I know she is rejoicing today because she is finally home where she longed to be. I am honored to have had her in my life and look forward to seeing her and hear her sing that song she always sang at Church, Someone Loves Me. I love you Lila and I will miss your sweet, sweet spirit. Til me meet again, Joan

Bob, I was so sorry to read your Mother’s obituary today. She was a beautiful person and a beautiful lady. Even though it has more than 40 years since I had seen her, I recognized her immediately. I hope you and your family are well..
