Carl, Martha and Family,
Jerry and I are so sorry for your great loss and everything you have gone through. Lillian was a wonderful person and could always make me laugh. I don't know if you remember or not, but she and your Dad picked up Mama and me for Sunday School and Church many, many, many times after we moved away from Atlantic City, and then Mama after she moved to Wards Corner. I will always be grateful for that and the many recipes she gave me through the years. She never minded sharing and she was such a great cook! My family still enjoys many of her recipes today, especially her chocolate fudge. She will never be forgotten by the people she touched.
Keep a vision of her in your mind of laughing and being so very, very happy. It helps and I believe it is true.
Love to you all.
Nancy and Jerry Skinner

Carl and family, I'm sorry for your loss! Your mother was a sweet lady. She is well now and in the arms of her Lord and Savior, Jesus! I'll never forget the home cooked lunch she prepared for all my roofer's and me when we re-roofed her house, that show's the kind, sweet lady she was!
May you and yours rest in God's love and assurance that all is well,
Mike and Helen Perry
