Aunt Lillian was an awesome lady!She alwasy had a smile. She always made you fell welcomed no matter what. She knew how to fill the room with laughter and at the right time. We all were so very lucky to have her in our lives.She had a heart of gold and always something good to say about everyone no matter what. I can honestly say I learned a few things from her. She will be so missed by her loved ones. God rest her and hope she is having the time of her life with no more pain and suffering. Love you always.....

I was one of Lilly's caregivers at the nursing home...there was always something about her that made her one of my favorites. Perhaps it was her smile, it always seemed to light up the room she was in. I miss Lillian very much, things just are the same without her.

May Aunt Lillian Rest in peace, she was one of our Mothers best friends when she and Uncle Don married. I remember them talking for hours and even a giggle now and then!
