Greg & Cecilia ,me & my wife were the last people here in Yuma to tend to Lilas needs from health care to moving to flying her back to Montana,we had no ideal that last phone call with her would be the last
,Lila was a great person,reminded me of my own mom in alot of ways, and for that we tried to make sure she had a mothersday rose,a birthday cake,and a thanksgiving dinner…her and my wife Ceclia became very close,and thought the world of my wife, we said bye at the airport here in Arizona tears were shed and hugs were exchanged.I think of Lila all the time especially when I water her plants that she gave us cause she couldn’t take them. I lost my real mother 5 Years ago and it seems like I kinda lost her again.. for a moment in time though I was able to hang out with 2 great gals ,my wife and Lila..she will be missed.
