I always thought of Lila as a beautiful person, inside and out; warm, intelligent, friendly, and uniquely statuesque; always stunning in appearance, always graceful yet strong, poised and radiant. Your mother and father were vital to the Hurleyville community, especially to the Jewish community. I know my family held them and your entire family in high regard; even as a kid I could sense what seemed to be a magical electricity between them, like Bogey and Bacall. I didn't see Lila all that often, though she was a friend of my mother, but when I did see her, most often at synagogue services, it was always special, because she was special. My most sincere sympathies to the family.
