Lillian will be missed very much by my family and me. I have many fond memories of sitting on the porch and chatting with Lillian and Luther when I was growing up and of them taking me to church with them. They are now reunited in Heaven and I know that is where they want to be. Until I get to Heaven I will miss them very much!

I have so many wonderful memories growing up just "right down the road" from Aunt Lillian and Uncle Luther. Mama, T and I would go to town on Saturdays and always eat lunch at Kress' lunch counter in Roanoke. Afterwards, we would go in to Pugh's and some of the other department stores downtown, passing the perfume counters and Mama and T would test the different perfumes while testing them on me, too! Daddy and Uncle Luther would say that I smelled "like a country drugstore" when we got back home. I also remember eating at their home. She would always make her special homemade rolls and have October beans for me when she knew we were coming to eat. No one can ever make them taste as good as she did! I love you, T, and will miss you!

My thoughts and prayers are with you all, I too have many memories of Aunt T, and I know that she will be greatly missed, but now she is in Heaven, pain free, and Luther and her are both together again. My prayers are with the Family. Love Cindy and William

Oh how i remember the days of sitting with Aunt "T" on her front porch, as she sang "Animal Crackers" to me. She always let me help water her beautiful flowers. One memory I will never forget was the time we went shopping for Uncle Luther and I was so excited to come home and tell him about his "surprise boots", after I promised Aunt T i wouldn't tell. She was surely a very special lady and thought the world of "Neat". You will be forever missed Aunt T, we love you and will see you again one day. Until then, enjoy your time with Uncle Luther, I know he has truly missed you!
