Bob & Family,
I am so sorry to learn that Lillie passed away. Bill and I have some wonderful memories of our times together especially on our camping trips. I know she will be missed by her precious grandkids that she loved so dearly. May God bless you and your family during your time of sorrow.

I had the privilege of meeting her a couple of years ago, and remember how well she could cook. We pigged out that evening. She and her husband were very hospitable. Another good and kind person gone, but not forgotten. My prayers are with all daily.

I still remember the fun we had when you, Lillie and Bob would include me in your road trips. That was a long, long time ago Pat. I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

I loved Lillie very much. She was a great person I loved talking to her. She was kind hearted and a joy to be around. When you asked her a question she always knew just what to say. She loved her family and her husband very much. She loved joking with him and they had a marriage that not many people had. I will miss her. Lou Ellen Adams

Mrs.Kelley was beautiful inside and out. She touch so many with her loving, outgoing, humorous personality. I was honored to get to know her and call her my friend. RIP my dear sweet friend.
