With Dick and Tila's family and friends we share the loss of this wonderful lady. Tila enjoyed sharing life with friends and family near and far. She met the challenges of life with strength, patience and creativity. She made the world around her a better place and will be sorely missed. May she rest in peace. David & Marie Dame
To Tila's Family, especially Dick, I send my heartfelt condolences. I am Liz of "Liz and Errol" who used to see Dick and Tila often at The Clock Restaurant. Tila was well represented by the words you have chosen for her obituary, particularly ,"elegant, kind, thoughtful." Whenever we would meet, I would always feel special with her, and even if it was only five or ten minutes, the feeling lingered. I last saw her with Dick and Eliana at The Northwest Grille not too long ago. Although she seemed a bit different, that sense of being special in her presence still remained. I will carry that with me forever. Dick, give me a call if you would like to meet for coffee or breakfast some time. 352.377.0303. You are in my heart. Love, Liz
Tila and I became friends during the time we worked together in Connie Fitzgerald and Rob Roseman's office in the late 1980's. She was a happy and gentle lady and it's sad to have her gone. Mary Flanagan
