I grew up in Benbrook across the street from Bill and Lillian in the late 60's and early 70's. They were both wonderful, kind neighbors who I remember with great fondness. My boyhood friends and I would put on shows that Lillian would come over to watch, and how she laughed! She was a wonderful lady, and I know all the good memories of her will sustain you through this time of loss. God Bless.

We,along with all who knew her,will long remember Lillian Allison as a lovely and gracious lady. Her passing leaves a void, but also hearts full of gratitude and affection. We think especially of her family and the choir and Builders' Class at Arlington Heights United Methodist. Our families--the Robertsons and Allisons--remain united in shared memories and experiences that span over half a century and a shared faith that gives us strength and hope even in this time of sorrow and loss. Condolences to Bill, Patty, the family, and all who with us will miss Lillian but are better for having known her and remain encouraged by her on our life's journey.

Bill,
You and Lillian have been in my life since before I was born. Thank you so much for your love and support over the years. We were so sorry about Lillian, but know that she and Dad are both happy and enjoying the love of Christ in a better place.
We are here for you, we love you and we honor the life you have led.
Love,
George and Luana Marler

Mrs. Allison was my fifth grade teacher at South High Mount Elementary School. She was an excellent teacher and a compassionate role model. I have enjoyed seeing her in recent years at church when I am in Ft. Worth; I try to attend services with Charles Harper. Mrs. Allison was a very positive influence, on my life, that I will always carry with me. My thoughts and prayers are with her family at this sad time. Jacquelyn Gregory Piland

Aunt Lillian will always be very special to us. She never had a bad thing to say about anyone, she had a great outlook on life and a good sense of humor. She will be missed.
