I am very saddened to hear about Lillian. I worked with Lillian at Hans Andersen Elementary School. While collecting 5th grade documentation regarding physicals, we enjoyed a few words of encouragement. It was a huge task, but Lillian kept a wonderful smile on her face. The retirees will miss her. I extend sympathy to Lillian's family.

Dear Mary and Family,

We are so sorry for your loss. We really enjoyed spending time on the bleachers with Lillian. She was a great fan and a delightful lady. We know you loved her very much. So happy Mary that you were able to go on the wonderful trip to Egypt with her recently. A gift you will always treasure. Our warm thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. We hope that the beautiful and loving memories of her will help you find peace. May God Bless you and Keep you.

The Lehman Family:
My thoughts and prayers are with each of you. I worked with your mother for more than ten years at CPS and have kept in touch since our retirements. She talked lovingly of each of you and her grandchildren...she was so proud of you all. I will miss her kindness and friendship.

Lilian had a light that shone from her like almost no one I've ever met. She visited NYC last summer and stopped in to see a cabaret show I was in and brightened the whole evening for my dad and me. We will miss her very much. God bless the whole family.--Beth Whittingham Goehring, daughter of Lilian's cousin Chuck.

We are very sorry to read about the death of your Mom. We have known her and Ed since before they were married in 1957. Ed was a partner of mine for more than 40 years.

Marilyn and I travelled all over the world with Ed & Lillian to Mexico, England, the Netherlands, France, etc. We always enjoyed our time together and we will miss her. God Bless you all!

Dear Lehman Family,

I was saddened to see the news about your Mom, I remember her as a child growing up in Morton Grove on Lyons St. and remember both of your parents fondly. I last saw Mary about 7-8 years ago while in Glenview for business, please accept our family's sympathy to all of you.

Respectfully, Larry Montalto
