I believe people like Lillian leave this earth a better place than when they arrived. I hope many people feel the same and remember her throughout their time here.

Kim, Billy, Meghan & Aaron:
We know you will miss Lilly terribly, but what wonderful memories you have of her. She was a first class lady, just like the ladies she leaves behind. We are also feeling the loss as Lilly was always so nice to us and treated us like family. RIP Lilly, we'll be seeinv you again one of these days.
Love you all,

It has been 40 years plus since I was around Lillian. But remember her as this kind gentle woman. Sadly our family is small and now a lot smaller. My best wishes for her soul and family remaining. Robert Prideaux Jr.

Kim and family.
Lil was my Godmother and friends of my mother, Beverly McConaha Kneebone. During our mother's brief stay in hospital, Lil comforted me at our darkest time. She and Davey was so special to all of us. Thanks for sharing Lil with us.

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Growing up with Dave and spending time in their house with Lil is truly one of my most fond memories. She will be missed by all of us whose lives she touched.

It was a blessing to know Lil and Paul. Your mother was a kind and lovely lady devoted to her family. Through Paul, we shared photos and tidbits about their life together. May God bless and strengthen you and your family at this time. Stuart Hamblein wrote in song I find comfort with the following word, "The soul of man is like a falcon waiting to be released and then it will soar away."

Dear Kim,
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of loss. I share your loss as our family also lost our mother on June 13th. No one knows the loss of parents as those who experience the same. We were still holding onto memories of the loss of our father in 2011. Our parents leave a void in our lives that no one else can fill.
But faith helps us continue as our parents would have envisioned. Thinking of you and know if you need anything, I am here for you!
Love you!
