Lillie had the brightest smile and the kindest disposition. She and I sang together in the choir at Springdale Presbyterian and I'll always treasure those Sunday mornings. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family members.

What a loss to our church. Lillie was a willing worker and always had a smile on her face. She will be missed at circle and in the many other church groups and activities she supported.

Our sincere sympathy goes to her entire family and friends. She was a very special person and loved by all.

Remembering Lillie will always brings a smile to my face. She was a delightful lady, kind and loving. She was always gracious and welcoming when I visited her and Jack. She never tired of talking about her wonderful children and grandchildren. I will always remember her and Peg Sealy in their choir robes at Springdale. Both lovely ladies, gone too soon.

God saw you getting tired and a cure was not to be, So he put His arms around you and whispered "Come to Me". With tearful eyes we watched you, and saw you pass away. Although we loved you dearly, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us, He only takes the best.

Dearest Lil,
Rest in peace in God's loving arms for eternity. With love, Annie (your daughter, not by birth, but by heart)

She will always be with you, just in a different way, each thought and memory will keep her with you. May God's love and peace help you through your grief.

I will always remember Jack and Lillie. One of my favorite memories was in the St. Patrick's Day Parade in Lexington. She wore a tee-shirt which said IBM (Irish by Marriage). She was a person with a kind heart and a friend to all.
