Flights of angels carry you home my dear friend...that is good...you are already deeply missedπŸ™πŸΌ

My condolences to the family and friends of Ms. Lila. She was always so kind and I'll always remember the great memories shared with her and my mom in the SSW. Rest peacefully beautiful. You will be missed.

Dearest Nana and family. I am so sorry about your loss. Lila was more than just my administrative assistant for 8 years, she was my work family, my trouble shooter, my mentor for family issues, and my friend. We worked hard, but also had a lot of laughs and good times. I always admired her for being such a hard worker (worked at least two jobs while I was her boss). She would work for VCU from 8-4 and then go into the supply closet and come out dressed for work at Goodwill. She loved her family and would do anything for them. She will be missed. All my love. Dr. Tim Davey

To the family of Miss Lila I send my deepest condolences. Miss Lila was a joy to work with at VCU's School of SW. I'll always remember how patient she was whenever I called to ask what must've seemed like a hundred questions. Even over the phone,you could tell there was a smile on her face as she spoke. What a beautiful woman. May God hold you close through this difficult time. Ivy Moore,LCSW

Yolanda I'm sorry to hear about your mother my best friend she was truly a good friend and I will miss her god bless.

To the Family. GOD does not make mistakes. Each of us are his unique flower planted on this earth by him, nurtured, watered and loved. When we have grown into what he would like us to be he plucks us from the garden to bring us close to his heart. Job well do Lila Mae. Your book is closed but new chapters of life were born and generations remain to to run their own race. Family run hard, play hard and don't look back just glance and remember the good times. Most of all take the love of GOD with you.

To the family of Mrs Lila, Deepest sympathy and may our dear Lord grant you peace, for earth has no sorrow that heaven can not heal πŸ™ Wilhelmina Burrell-Shelton

Yolanda, sending my condolences to you and family during this difficult time of grief. I will be praying for God to provide you with His comfort, love and peace. Hilde Stewart

Lila was a gem. What a beautiful smile she had. Her quick wit was infectious. I pray for all her family members and the many friends she had. She was loved by all of us who worked with her at VCU. She is one of God's Angel's. Bless you Miss Lila.

I extend my deepest condolences to Yolanda and the other family members and loved ones of Lila. There are no words to describe the bright light that Lila was to so many people. Her presence, warmth, support, and laughter could light up a room like no other. I'm thrilled I was able to see her last October at Jaci Miller's birthday celebration. She was as beautiful as ever in everyway. She will live on in our memories as the giant she was when on earth. May she rest in peace and be joyfully reunited with her loved ones on the other side. May her memory be a blessing to all. With love, Karen Legato

I knew Lila through her work at VCU school of social work. For many years Lila offered me wisdom, support and her smile. Her gracious manner and intelligent offerings were always an important part of my personal and professional growth.

I am so sorry for your loss, With deep sympathy, Mindy Loiselle
