Omega, Alpha and Family....
You have all been on my mind constantly this past week. I am so sorry for your loss.
Omega, at times like these I wish we weren't so far away so I could just hold you.

Lil was an amazing lady. She was funny and tuff and let you know how she felt. Her sincere compassion was evident in all that she did. Lil's legacy can be found in the personalities and spirited lives of her family. What a wonderful gift she has given us all! "Thank you, Lil. You done good! See you on the other side." xoxo

My deepest condolence for my sister Wahneta and her family during this time of need. Lillian is now pain free and at the side of our heavenly father. As I did not know Lillian, I know that she was surrounded by many friends and love ones. Wahneta, you and all of your family are in my thoughts and prayers.

Lillian was my best friend, I loved her from the first time I saw that infectious smile. She was a lady with a beautiful soul, always there for me, always ready to listen or boost me up when Bob was so sick. Bob loved his sister greatly and I can still hear them talking and laughing and having a wonderful time together. I will greatly miss her for she was not just my sister-in-law, but truly my sister. Her kindness, generosity, compassion and love made the world a better place.
