Liela was a saint, an angle we will miss her dearly, but will never forget her laugh. RIP dear sweet Liela, we love you! Prayers for those she has left behind.

I am so sorry to hear of the death of Leila. The passing away of a loved one is always with much sorrow. May we have faith and confidence in the Bible’s promise of a time when pain, sickness and death are a thing of the past (Revelation 21:3, 4). My condolences are with the family at this difficult time.
