Lillie was a wonderful neighbor, Special Friend, and continued to be so, even after our 38 years in Pocahontas Village. She went through so many physical trials through her life but always managed to get back up and keep going. After Stanley and Stanley, Jr. died her struggles continued..but she kept going because of you, her family. Her family was her life and she loved each of you so much and unconditionally. She was so proud of "her boys". And yes, Christmas was indeed her "special season"! (smile) So many memories...
Our prayers and thoughts are with each of you, she will be missed, but always remembered with love and a smile.
