Mommy's legacy lives on in the hearts and minds of all the people she loved and inspired by her kindness, strength and quick wit. My life is better having known her and her family. She is certainly one of those angels looking out for us now. At this special time of year, thoughts and prayers to all who loved her.

Missing Lil on this difficult anniversary. She changed so many lives and I'll always remember her warm, infectious smile.

Karen, Michael & Family -- We loved her too and will continue to honor her legacy.

Aunt Lil, From the first day I met Aunt Lil she treated me as one of her own. She provided guidance, wisdom and love. I will always have fond memories.

In loving memory, We will love you and miss you always Aunt Lil.

My condolences to the Wiggins family. My apologies for the late message. I am just finding out about her passing. I had the pleasure of speaking to her on a few occasions. She was a very nice lady and when speaking to her you knew that she was a person of great intellect and I will never forget her.

Many blessings and condolences. Ms. Wiggins was a tough, fair woman. I am very grateful to have had her in my life growing up. Showing me a side of life I would have never known down Indian Acres. Love you always!! -Lee



May the Lord our God comfort, strengthen, and shower you His love during this time of bereavement. I was just made aware of the passing of your mom and just wanted to send my condolences to you and your family. I have childhood memories of us spending loads of time together with teens and tots as well as with my grandmother, Gladys Shell aka Granny. God Bless you Michael & Karen with peace and precious memories.
