So many fond memories of Lillian. All the sleepovers, boating days to the Yacht Club accidental meetings to most recently some shared time with her. I will forever remember her kindnesses, sweet smile and amazing quilting talent. My thoughts are with you all. She will shine forever in the hearts of many and forever look over her family.
