Paul, Sandra, Stephen and I will always remember Aunt Lillian for her kindness and friendship that she extended to us and to our mother Darneva Saunders Cooper when our family moved to Blue Ridge from New York.
Aunt Lillian spent coutless hours just being a friend to Mom and helping her to come back home. I personally was always amazed at her endurance and strength of spirit that she had to be able to walk that mountain. She was a mighty woman who believed in God and Jesus and shed Their Love on our family whenever we were fortunate to be in her presence. I will miss Aunt Lillian and join our whole family in the comfort that she is now present with the Lord. Oh how happy she must be!!! Hallelujah, Glory to God in the highest.
