As rare as rubies...
More elegant than emeralds...
A life lived in GODLY beauty and splendor...
Shining more dazzling than a diamond...
Ms. Lillie, you are sorely missed our hearts a little empty and yet our lives so enriched by your loving, sweet memory. Blessed peace and rest forever in your Savior's keep, with restless minds we wipe away tears as we try to sleep. Our beautiful Lillie is now in her Father's garden.

Ms. Roberts was my play mom, friend and we attended the same church (St. Philip AME Church). I did not know that on 08/25/24 that would be the last time that we would speak to each other because we talked alot especially on Sunday's regarding the sermon,since, she couldn't be there. She knew the Lord. I really loved her and is going to miss her dearly but God knows best. May she RIP!
