It is with profound sadness and yet great joy we note the life of Lyla, mother of one our greatest friends, Diane and mother-in-law to Jan Michalski whom, if ever there was a man who needed the lives of great women to guide his, it is Jan. Now we trust that Di, with the skill and wisdom learned from her mother, will help lead her family and especially all of those wonderful grands and great-grands on the path we know Lyla set for them!
