Dear Arne and Louise, my heart is heavy with the loss of dear Lillian, who was my father Loyd MacNayr's first cousin. So many memories over the years, especially of visits with her wonderful family as a youngster and of more recent visits over the last few years. Lillian was such a dear, welcoming person with love in her heart for all. My family and I will miss her smile and love. May she rest in peace, and may all your wonderful memories warm your hearts in the sad times. Much love...

Lillian was a wonderful woman full of kindness. She always had a smile on her face and was a delight to talk to when I would see her on the 4th of July every year at her house. My grandma would bring me over to her house to visit and many lovely memories were made. I am very sad to hear of her passing and send my sympathy to all her family, friends, and loved ones.

Lillian was a Lady with so much kindness. She was truly happy to see you and her face would have the biggest smile on it. She came from a Very Loving family and such a different time that it was hard for people to believe all that goodness was inside of her. She was a blessing in my life just having the calmness to light my spirit with all her love. We will be heartbroken and she will be missed. I think she is surrounded by the peace of God. Bless you Arnie and Louise,I am truly sorry and...
