My sincere condolences to Lyla's family and friends. I was heartbroken and shocked to learn that dear sweet Lyla has passed from this life into the next. I was a client of her's here in Cary, NC. She was a beautiful soul. I know she is at peace, with our father in heaven. Know that she was dearly loved while she walked among us! Her presence will be missed.

I am saddened to hear of my dear friend's passing. Lyla was one of my best friends who I have known for almost thirty years. I have many fond memories of trips we went on, dinners we shared together, and long conversations where we confided in each other. I will miss her dearly, but I am assured that she is in a better place. So though I grieve for our loss, I rejoice for Lyla's gain. Christ has turned everything in this world upside down. The rich are poor, the downcast are mighty, and death in this world is cause for rejoicing in the next. Please accept my deepest sympathy.

I am sorry for your loss. It's the little things, the small, everyday occurrences that you'll remember. The laughs, the stories, the smiles. And even though it seems like you can never recover from your loss, it is these very memories that will help push the pain away and bring back the smiles. Wishing you all peace to bring comfort, courage to face the days ahead and loving memories of Lyla to forever hold in your hearts. Always.
"Come to me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28

To Lylas Family I want to express my deep sympathy for Lylas passing. I have known Lyla from her work in Maryland. I dont know the exact year but thinking back we meet in the early to mid 80s. We got to chat about many things and shared many pleasant times together. Lyla was a very special person and even after our careers took us to different locations we kept in touch. We would make time and share lunch a few times a year to catch up. I will miss her and its sad to think she will not be there to talk to anymore with but through my faith I know Lyla is in heaven with our Lord.
