Aunt Lil, they don't come any better than you. You brought such joy to my life and we shared so much together over the years. I will truly miss you. Don't worry about Uncle Joe and say hi to my Dad for me.

My father was so very fond of Lillian. They were childhood friends from Penn Street and lost touch over the many years, however were reacquainted a few years ago through Dianne who was a neighbor of my father's, Antimo Silvio. He talked endlessly about how it was so wonderful to meet her again. He just could not get over it and told me time and time again how thrilled he was to have her as his friend. He passed away in March. I hope they are enjoying some old memories again.

My condolences to her family.
