Not sure what to say?

I can truly say that I never saw Lilly Faulkner Hawkins without a huge smile on her face. She was such a vivacious and energetic lady. She exuded happiness among any and all who encountered her.

Evidence: her picture in the News -Gazette above her obituary. That was her smile that she gave to everyone and it didn't matter what was going on, she made you feel so happy and pleased to be in her company.

We have lost one of the most pleasant personalities that I and others have known.

My heartfelt condolences to her family and many friends in the Lexington community.

Dear Faulkner and Hawkins Family,

I am so sorry for your loss. As a teenager I was fortunate enough to spend some time around the Faulkner/ Hawkins Family and I know that Lilly's greatest comfort and joy was having all of you with her. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers.

I am very sorry to her about Lily. We were good friends while growing up in Rockbridge County during the late 50's and early 60's. She was a wonderful, caring person. We lost contact after high school, as I moved away. Her Dad and Mine were very good friends and worked together at James Lees in Glasgow. I'm sure all will miss her greatly, Ed Johnston Jr.

Lilly and I worked together at Burlington. She was so much fun and so interesting to be with. Her sunny disposition and positive outlook made her special. She was a hard worker. Her generosity including taking time to train and work with others with great patience. I have always admired her. Scott and I share your loss. I read all the ways she was a blessing to others and I am grateful for the pleasure of knowing her. With our deepest sympathy, Becky and Scott Hannah
