On Behalf of the Melton Family, You will truly be in our Prayers during the Passing of your Love One. We Pray God will comfort and Keep you in his Hands all the days of your life. He is able to give you Peace and Understanding during times such as this.
I am so saddened to hear of Lila's passing. Lila had such a kind personality. The last time that I saw Lila was when we were students at UNC-Greensboro. I saw her in front of the Elliott University Center. She greeted me with a pleasant greeting. We talked about how things were going and how our families were doing back home. Lila will always be remembered for her pleasant demeanor, radiant smile, and playing the piano so beautifully. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with the entire family during this difficult time.
I taught Lila piano lessons during her elementary and junior high school years. She was always focused on learning her music lesson. Lila practiced her music to perfection and learned to play the piano very well. I enjoyed teaching her because she had such a positive attitude. My deepest sympathy and prayers are with Lila's entire family and all of her friends during this difficult time.

On behalf of Myself and the staff of Anson County Sheriff's Office, we extend our deepest sympathies to the family at this time. We pray that you will have comfort in the midst of your pain and peace in the midst of your sorrow.
My dear cousin Lila's passing has left a profound void in our hearts. In this time of grief, we hold fast to the promises of our faith and the comfort of God's eternal love. Though we mourn, we do not grieve as those without hope, for we know that through Christ, we have the assurance of eternal life. "He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away." β Revelation 21:4 I offer my deepest and most heartfelt condolences to the entire family. May the memories of Lila bring you peace, and may God's presence strengthen and sustain you in the days ahead.
Our prayers and thoughts are with this family. My God continue to bless and keep each of you. Rest on peace. Bishop and mrs Marion wilson
