My sincere sympathy, especially to Lillian's family, but, also to her many, many friends. Lillian was a shining example to many with her loving smile to everyone she met. I worked with Lillian as a volunteer at Providence Hospital. She made so many people feel better with her loving ways. She will be missed by so many. God grant her eternal rest.
