Mrs. Lil was an amazing woman. She is gone way too soon in body, but her spirit will be with us for many years to come. She was a wonderful grandmother to my daughter. She lived far away but seemed so close. She has made me feel like a part of the family since I met her. She kept the cleanest, neatest house that was full of her personality and was always so welcoming and accepting of us. Maya and I will miss u. Love you. Molly and Maya.
