Though I never had the chance to meet Lila, I hold her in my heart. Through her mom, Mary- who I love like a mother - I know what a beautiful soul she was and how deeply she is loved.
I’m praying her soul rests in peace. My heartfelt condolences to the whole family.

Lila has always been such a pleasant, special joy to me. When my family was spending time in LA and surrounding areas, gathering to attend the graduation of my daughter Colleen from Pomona College in Claremont (LA COUNTY) , Lila managed to get us all to rendezvous for lunch and refreshments at Moon-shadows on the beach in Malibu, despite our various schedules. Lila acquired many fine skills that are not typical for most generations. To me she was most impressive and so pretty too. My sincere appreciation and deep condolences to her mother Mary and to her Aunt Anne for cultivating such a kind, exceptionally well poised soul whose goodness radiated out touching and uplifting so many. I lit a candle at church after mass last Sunday and offered prayers for her departed soul. May God bless us all!
