I was very privaledged to know Lilly. She was a wonderful friend for both me and my mother. She was always there for us even through the roughest part we both knew we had a friend. Even after I moved to my father in OH I missed going over to her house and folk dancing till midnight. I am very gratful I got to see her last spring when i came to VA to see my mother's graduation.
She was my better-than-a-grandmother she was my friend she was a warm smile and a wonderful conversation....
