Lillie Mae was God's ambassador. She taught me how to live by faith in Christ. Her life guide was to love everyone as did Jesus. I loved her dearly.

I feel myself among the fortunate to have met you. We journeyed through this life for many years and I appreciate how much kindness and love you shared with everyone. My fondest memories were watching you anoint with oil and pray for your friends and family as well as seeing people truly enjoying the meals you prepared. It was your way of showing love and you did it very, very well. You were a woman who was true to her word and loved her church and the fellowship she found there. You are now home and I am sure you were enveloped in the "Peace and Love that passeth all understanding.

Lilly was the best witness off a faithful Christian to me and my family. We love you Lilly!

Grandma woke up and asked me where the baby was. I had to leave and go get him and bring him to see her.
