Lillian CORRIGAN

Lil Corrigan--Presente!

Benning ,GA which houses the infamous School of the Americas. Arm in arm singing, we marched together risking arrest. I felt safe with Lil. She was 75 at the time.

May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
