I only knew Lillian from living here at the Oaks and my husband, Harry played Bridge with her. He also died in September. She was a special lady and I know will be missed here at the Oaks.

I have a lot of wonderful childhood memories at the Crews' farm. Lil has been part of our family for a long time. I am sorry I cannot be there but know my thoughts and prayers are with each of you. Joni
