Sorry to hear of the loss of a wonderful person. Lil was a beautiful lady and will be missed. Lil was very creative and we will treasure her 'bag ladies' forever.

Our prayers and thoughts are with her many family members and friends.

May I extend my condolences.

When we were growing up she and my mom (Jeanne DiFulvio) were very close friends, to the point that we all knew her as "Aunt Lil".

My thoughts and prayers will be with you.
Sincerely
Donna DiFulvio St Germain

I am so sorry to hear of Aunt Lil's passing. Words just can't express. She was a very wonderful woman, and the best godmother any child could ask for. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I will cherish every memory I have of her time in Plattsburgh when I was growing up.
God Bless you all

I'm so very sorry to hear of Lil's passing. She was a good friend and loving "grandma" to my son James for many years. She will be truly missed.
