I did not know Nila Lamb, but I know her amazing daughter Karen. Karen is a very caring, sweet, loving person. I’m sure she got those traits from her beautiful mother. My thoughts and prayers are with the entire family through this rough time.
Angie Pate says
Sweet Karen, I am so sorry for your loss. I didn’t know your Mom but she raised you. Therefore she had to be awesome! May God comfort you in this time of sorrow.
Beth Lamb says
The night you passed I was awakened at 11:59 to a warm touch and I knew it was you. I became very sick to my stomach because I knew we had lost a very special person. Nila I will always be grateful to you for the person you were. I now you are now at peace. You will be greatly missed but the lives you touched here on earth will leave a everlasting impression. You will not be forgotten, your memory will live in all of us.
I am sorry we will not be attending you church service but you know our situation better than anyone and I know you are okay with it, we made it to you when you needed it most. We love you Nila and thank you for your forgiveness.

Nila was a beautiful person who raised an amazing and beautiful daughter. Her light and love shine on daily, and always remember that the smell on the breeze and the soft caress you feel as you wake will be her with you every day! Love Always to my sweet Karen, I wish I could have been there for you today!
Randall Limburg says
Mom, it has been a couple weeks since you left us to be with Jesus. I want you to know it has been an honor to be your son. You taught me so many things and I hope I have been able to give you joy as you have given me. I miss you greatly. Is it everything we hope it will be? I watched the sunsets the next couple days after you passed and they were more beautiful than normal. The colors were so bright and I feel that is due to you allowing those in heaven to smile even more than they do.
I am struggling mom, I still have not been able to cry. I don’t know why. You are and always will be a big part of who I am. For me to not be able to reach out and hug you and listen to you being mom, it just seems so unreal. When I told you that I didn’t want everyone to cry but to celebrate your life, I didn’t realize I was turning off my abillity to let it go. Is there something wrong with me mom?
I still have a handful of voicemail messages you sent from the hospital, and I listen to them as a way of touching you. I don’t feel like your gone, as I still see you as you were and your still smiling. I guess knowing your with God has made this a more bareable time.
I hope you save me a seat, as I don’t know of anyone else I want to see to more when I leave here, I got a couple things left to do here before I get there. I will see you though. Hug Bobby, and Grandma Moore… tell my buddy David Holloway that I miss him too…
Mom, I love you and miss you so very much. Help me to cry… so I can feel normal again. You have always helped me in the past, just one more time.
See you soon, tell Jesus I need an extra helping of foregivness. I look forward to meeting him face to face. He will understand who I am.
