Gosh! It just not seem so long ago that you were here! You and your Mother were such a large part of our lives when my girls were still in school, and like you, now they are grandparents! I am sure that you were one who welcomed my youngest, Venus, there in 2019. I send my love to your family as well as to you and your parents. Hugs!

Although I hadn't known Ms. Lillian for very long, her kindness and love touched my heart. Yesterday I planted my aquaponic garden in memory of her. I find comfort to know she is still here with us and will forever remain in our hearts. Rest in peace sweet Lillian. <3

Lillian will live on in the hearts of her beautiful grand children. As Macayla said when I told her of your passing " Grandma is in heaven now where there is no pain and she is young and beautiful. I have a new guardian angel" RIP in peace Lillian. Much love to the Chilson family.
