Lillian truly had an effect on me. I knew her for such a short time, but in that time she showed me the strength of spirit I have only witnessed in a few individuals. Her devotion to God and family was inspirational. I have thought about her many times over the past five years. I watch the video I made for her birthday and smile. She was a remarkable woman. I miss her. I hope her family is doing well and finding solace in their memories of her. God bless.

Please accept our condolences on behalf of myself and my family. I stumbled across this while searching something on the internet. I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember when we were kids and all the great fun we had at your house and ours. I remember your mother well. She was such a beautiful woman. I guess God needed more angels in heaven... keep your chin up and know that she is at peace and all is well.
Peace & Love,

I was a care-giver and friend of Lillian's. Her infectious smile could warm the coldest day. I am honored to have shared a small part of her life. She loved God, adored her family and cherished her friends. Truly, an inspirational spirit.

To Craig and family:
I was so sorry to learn of your mother's death. I always held her in high esteem. I saw her only very occasionally thru the years but know that she shortened her hair in her senior years and will always think of her as the first time I saw her, which was selling stamps for bonds in either kindergarten or first grade, with beautiful, flowing hair. She was kind to me the days in grade school I saw her and to my surprised also remembered me on the odd occasion I would run into her. She will not be forgotten.
With love,
Leota
