Deb, Sheryl and Janet, I was out of town when I heard about Lila Fae. Broke my heart. She always had so much get up and go. I didn't know she had moved into a facility or I would have visited her. I loved Lila Fae. She was so nice to me and my sister and brothers and was always cheerful and loved to visit when I would run into her at the Post Office. When they made her they broke the mold. My condolences to all of you girls and your children and grandchildren. She was a special lady and I will never forget her reading to me every day when she babysat Twila and I. Would have loved to see all of you. Maybe some day...Trina Watkins Ireland

I am sending heartfelt condolences to the entirety of the Taylor family. There are so many memories to share that it is difficult to pinpoint just one. I have a picture of me and Mom in Lila's living room when I was just few months old. Lila threw my mom her baby shower after I was born. I have never known life without Lila and so while my tears fall, I have the happiest of memories. My last being when Lila made my mom a lemon pie (on Mom's request). When I went and picked up the pie, Lila and I shared an evening of smiles, laughter, tears and good conversation. If I truly had to share one thing about Lila, one thing I'll always remember is her laughter. She was so quick to laugh and was so happy with life. I am sorry I cannot be with you all tomorrow, but know my love is with you.
