The Family,
I know this a rough time for each of you, because truly an angel has gone home. Know that you are not alone God is with you and so am I. I will continue to lift each of you up in prayer. GOD bless each of you!!!

Earth has no sorrow that heaven cannot bare. Grandma Lillian was strong and yet fragile at the same time. God truly has an angel and because of the time, that He has allowed her to be with us, it's also time for her to depart from us. Grandad, Sterling and Thumbalina just trust the Lord with all your heart and lean not towards your own understanding but acknowledge Him in all your ways and He shall direct your paths. God bless you all and you shall remain in my prayers.

Uncle Sterling and Family,
Aunt Lillian fought a long and hard fight until the end. The Lord said it was time for her to have some peace. Hold on to your beautiful memories of her.
Love Always, Your Niece Mildred and Family.
