I am so sorry to hear about Lila’s passing. I have many fond memories of her. Keep her close in your hearts.
Sorry to read of your mother's passing, Brett. It is a hard thing to say goodbye to a parent. Trust you, Casey, and the rest of your family will find comfort in your memories of her.
Our family is so very sorry to hear of Lilas passing. We have fond memories of her. She and Casey were dear friends to us. I remember when the kids were little and Kerry was in the field for my April birthday, Lila didnt want my special day to go unnoticed so she made a cake and she and Casey delivered it and we had a little party! My clothesline is due to Casey and Lila getting busy and showing up with cement and line to get me a clothesline up in my backyard. Our deepest condolences to the family!
