Death stings us like a wasp. May the family find comfort in the words at Hosea 13:14 - Where are your stings, O Death? Where is your destructiveness, O Grave?"

I am deeply sadend to hear of Lila's passing. She was such a Gentle, Loving, Caring, Kind, classy lady. The two of you will always be in my heart as you were like a mother and father to me. I could never think of just Larry, or Lila. It was always Larry and Lila. You were as one. I pray that God be with you and fill you with his grace and comfort, as he has welcomed Lila home. The world is a better place for having the two of you in it. I appreciate all that you both did for me and you will Both be in my heart forever. I pray as well that your health continue to improve. I love and miss you!
