My deepest sympathy to the Godown Family. Many years ago Lila and I worked for the same insurance agency in different offices. I came to know her through our phone calls to one another about work but also on a personal level we clicked. We both had one daughter and I guess that’s what really bonded us. I was shocked and saddened to see she had passed away at such a young age. She was a lovely, warm person and my heart goes out to all of you. RIP Lila
