What a wonderful lady. I am so sorry we did not keep in touch over the years better. Growing up she was so sweet to me and seemed that way with everyone. I know she will be greatly missed. My condolences to you Jimmy and all the kids. Remembering her as I do, I know we will see her again one day because i am sure she is in heaven waiting. My prayers are with the entire family

Ms. Lillie is one of the greatest women we have ever known. As sorry as we are to hear of her passing, we are also thanking God for the fact that we will see her again one day. She was a walking testimony to her faith and love in Jesus Christ, her Lord and Saviour. We love her and will miss her terribly.

Miss Lillie was no doubt one of the sweetest and most humble women I have had the pleasure to know. She will be so greatly missed but the memory she leaves behind is so sweet and such a blessing to have. May those memories help to make her home going a beautiful celebration.
