We were very sad to hear of the passing of "Miss Lil" as my son Joe fondly referred to her. We are sorry to be so far away and unable to attend her memorial but please know she will always be in our hearts and prayers as will you all. We're sure she will add light to heaven and be the most bejeweled woman there.

So sorry to read about your mother's death. My thoughts and prayers go out to you.
I hope to be able to come see you during visitation. It's been a longtime since I've seen any of you.
