Ila was a beautiful lady . . . now we think of her family, and the normal adjustment and grief that follows death for those left behind. I’m sure Ila is now free, and celebrating in the presence of Jesus! She has finished her course! God bless you, Linda and Larry, Brian, Frank, and each member of Ila’s extended family. Will see you one glad day, almost “in the blink of an eye!” Dan & Linda Hummer
