BOYDEN, LILA MILLIGAN Our Dear Lila, You were taken from us so early. We were just getting started in the next phase of our lives. We had dreams of traveling, being new grandparents, spending quality time with our family and friends and enjoying each other as we transitioned to retirement. You only had a brief time with our new grandson Levi, he is such a joy, full of energy and curiosity. We will always remind him of the special love you had for him. It was a privilege to have been a part of your life, to know your kindness, beauty, humor, compassion and friendship. We are all full of sadness, but also happy that we had many wonderful years together. Our love for you will live forever. With love, Ashley, Nick, Levi, Shawn, Charla, Carol, Betty, and especially your Best Friend, Tom.

BOYDEN, LILA MILLIGAN November 4,1950 - June 9, 2012 It's been a year since you left us. It seems like you are still in Spokane. There is not a day that goes by that our minds are not filled with fond memories of you. Who else would have made us hide in the floorboard of the car as you cruised McDonalds? Who could pass up summers at our pool with Carol's veggie-matic french fries and burgers? How about our awesome State Fair outfits and your white boots? Remember Red River and the fireworks? No one can top our amazing acrobatic pool routines for Tom to video!! We miss your Let-Lou's at family dinners!! You were an amazing big sister, Lila. Through the years we have shared so many belly laughs, tears of joy, and unfortunately, prayers through our grief. You always guided our path. We miss you and are thankful for the times we were blessed to share with you. They still brighten our days and bring smiles to our hearts. We love you! Char, Carol and Nonnie
