---------------------
Aunt Lila was one of the most energetic people I have ever known. If she ever had any 'down' moments I never saw them.
When I was a little girl she taught me to tie my shoes and answered my stupid questions like, "How do you fall asleep?"
I especially remember the beautiful hand painted aprons and handkerchiefs she made. Aunt Lila also made the best strawberry jam in the world!
She was a wonderful wife, mother, grandmother, great grandmother and aunt.
