So sorry for your loss. Prayers for all. Many memories with your mom. What a sweet lady. Mac and Carol McEntee. Sorry we will not be able to attend.
So sorry for your loss. I worked at Molstad Drug as an errand boy when I was in high school. Lila was always so kind to me. A very sweet lady.
Judy and sisters,
Your mother has graciously gone to her glory. I will remember her roaming in her wheelchair through the halls of Good Sam and eating eating every thing in front of her. She lived a good life. God bless all of you.
Please accept my most sincere condolences; I know it is difficult losing a Precious Mom. Be comforted that you all were there and took such good care of her.
May God bless and comfort you all,
Rhoda Renville
You folks are in our thoughts and prayers as you grieve Lila’s death and celebrate her life. You are loved. God bless you all.

Sympathy to the Berg family. I know how difficult it is to have your mom die. Your mother was a good friend of my mom (Olive Rikansrud) and the two of them worked together on Altar Guild at Canton Lutheran for many years.
Also, Lyle was a classmate of mine: Canton High 1964
