Tributes
"Sorry for your loss. Lila was a very loving and interesting person. I had a conflict so not able to be at the funeral. I looked forward to visiting with Allan and Gaylon. Have not seen them since high school at good ole Hayfield High..."a few years" back. Lila had helped me trace the family history. You may contact me at my e-mail address, if you would like. May God bless you."
