Celebrating a Life well lived. Lillie thanks for everything words can't express how much you will be missed and I can't thank you enough for all that you did. You have been more than a great aunt to Stebo & Toi. I will miss all of our talks about politics, entertainment, sports and anything else that I wanted to talk about.
In God's care you rest above,
In our hearts you rest with love
