Lillian,

I was blessed just a short time to work with you. But in those few short years you made such a huge impact on me, my life, and how I live it. You taught me to only worry abou the important things in life, and to never let the little things bother you. You gave me such love and respect from the moment we met. You are in my heart and in my prayers. God has blessed you by brining you home. I will miss you till we meet again.

Love to you and your family,

Lillian Love..I will miss you so much. You opened your heart to me as if I were part of your family. Your wonderful soul, wonderful spirit was such a beautiful part of my life, especially at a time I desperately needed it.
You taught me a good lesson. I will never take it for granted again that the people I love will be here tomorrow for me to tell them what they mean to me. I only wish I had been able to tell you how much you meant to me.
As sad as I am, I smile because I can hear your laugh and the loving names you called all your babies. Forgive me for not being there for you. You deserved more.
Great memories of you and the mustang, among other memories. I know you're riding in style in heaven!
Love, Krysta

My dearest Lillian,

Today we had to say good-bye to you. I will miss the flash in your eye, when I set you off (HEE HEE), that wicked grin you have when we really get cracking up or conspire to be "up to no good". I will miss you my friend, at least in this physical life, but never in my heart for you will always be there.

To Lillian's children, your cousin said it all today when he said your mother's greatest desire was for you all to love and support each other and to remember that she raised you to be a family. That is all she has ever wanted. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Lillian,
Even though we let so much time pass, we were so close to starting where we left off 13 years ago in Phoenix - "just having fun". We had a friendship I will never forget! I'm going to miss you.

Love, Your Friend Sylvia

Lillian,
I will miss the sound of your distinctive voice as you pass by my work area on your way to a much needed break, your bright smile, and your "tell it like it is" personality.
Our loss is Heaven's gain.
