To the Children of Ila Crow;
My husband and I were home teachers for your parents for several years. Your mother was always a gracious hostess who made us welcome and seemed sorry to see us leave. I also served in the ward libray with her. She was always very willing to serve and made sure anything she did was correct. I have missed her since she left interacting in my life. I am donating $20 through my local ward in her memory.
