Lillian is one of the strongest people I have ever known. I use lessons I learned from her on a daily basis. I miss her terribly, always will. Having Lillian as a mother-in-law is the best thing about being married to Verley and I told him so.

Grandma
I have many fond memories of you and my time with you in San Diego. From fried oatmeal for breakfast to burnt pumpkin dessert. The impact you had on our family will be remembered.
