My sympathy to the family.
Lila will always hold a special place in my heart!
♥️ a beautiful and loving Christian woman.
Now, resting in eternal peace with her loved ones.
Such a delightful lady with an easy smile! She was a good friend to my mother, Marjorie Hommertzheim, when she was at Dove Estates. As a Eucharistic Minister, I looked forward to visiting with Lila on Sundays I was scheduled.
