  When Ila was a little girl, her mother, Alice, would sing to her.Alicedied when Ila was four years old and on the way to the cemetery,Ilabegan singing the song "Sweet Bird" and her sister, Inez, said,"Oh, Ila,please don't sing that now". She didn't sing that song untilthe lastweek of her life. She told me (Darla) about the song and ather funeralwe all said, "Goodbye, Sweet Bird".
