Our precious daughter Lila Bonner, with an electric smile and soulful eyes, was tragically taken from this world in the horrific flooding at Camp Mystic on July 4, 2025. While our hearts are aching and processing this unimaginable loss, we are determined to spread Lila’s Light into the world.
Lila was a natural born leader who loved all creatures big and small. Her confidence and determination left us
no doubt she would one day fulfill her dream of opening and operating an animal rescue service.
Lila’s Light
Although Lila’s life was tragically cut short, her light, legacy and story will carry on. Our family appreciates the outpouring of love and support for our beautiful, precious girl and we are establishing a foundation to honor her love for animals. Please trust no funds will be used for expenses.
The Lila’s Light foundation will help animals affected by natural disasters — just as she would have wanted. Our mission is to ensure her legacy — and her radiant light — continues to shine. All proceeds will go directly to the Lila’s Light foundation.
Additionally, our dear friends at Milliard have created a necklace in Lila’s honor, and in her favorite color purple, with all proceeds benefiting Lila’s Light.
