Mema Lil is the best Grandma in the world. She always had a smile or a hug. She put others first before herself. She was a great example to me. I loved how she smelled and always looked so beautiful. I miss her with all of my heart and look forward to the day that Jesus will come and take us home so that I can share things with my Mema Lil again. I appreciated telling her private things and all the good and fun advise she gave me. I will miss her version of german and her silly songs. I love her so much. I love the "monkey" song - makes me smile when i think about it. I loved having her care for me and when we made bread together. Besides my Parents - Mema Lil and Papa Al were the first to see me when i was born and ever since then we have had a special relationship between Mema, Papa & I. She is the best! Love you Mema with all of my Heart.

"To touch the soul of another human being is to walk on Holy ground." I cannot remember a time when my mother didn't have a ready smile, kiss and hug for everyone whether she knew them or not. She wasn't only my mother, but my friend. She was the best mother a child could ever hope for. She was always there to guide me, care and ALWAYS love me. I feel blessed for all the years I had her and will miss our talks and laughs. I look forward to the day when I will see her again in Heaven. I love & miss you with all my heart and thank you for touching my heart and soul in a very special, loving way! 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17.

Aunt Lil...a synonym for Christ-like love, kindness, thoughtfulness, nurturing, and hospitality. She was one of God's true gifts to this world. May her memory live on daily in our lives. She will be missed greatly! Love and prayers to her family. Love, Kimberly

My Mom was a wonderful person. She loved to laugh and tell jokes. Her friendships extended to so many who loved her like they were in her family. She was the sparkle at parties and family reunions. She never forgot a holiday, and had a special way of making you feel accepted and important - my needs were always formost in her mind.
She had a generous and loving spirit. I anticipate that day when we will be together again - "Soon and very soon, we are going to see the King."

To my wonderful wife, she was always doing something for everybody and had a big heart. The smiles and the jokes she would tell. She would stop and talk to everyone. She touched so many people and they all loved her. She would always ask how everybody was, more so how the kids or grandchildren were. She was a friend to everyone. I loved her very much. To be with her, I loved all the days we had together and wish we could have had more time with each other. She now is at peace and in God's hands. To my loving wife, I miss you very much and pray and long for the day we will be together in Heaven.
Your Loving Husband,

I had the privledge of Lillian being my Mom - chosen just for me. She often thought of herself as the black sheep of the family because she was never a missionary overseas. She touched more lives in Wisconsin and her neighborhood than most people do. By all the good, love and kindness she showed to others she was an missionary for Jesus here. It just proves one person can make a difference where ever they are. I look forward to seeing her when Jesus comes - no more tears, no more hurt. I miss her so much and love her with all my heart. She was the best Mom and friend anyone could have!

I feel extremely blessed to have had Lil as a big part of my life. Any time I needed a dose of happiness all I had to do was pick up the phone or take a short drive to visit Lil. Her beautiful smile and hearty laughter instantly warmed my heart and made me feel like life couldn't get any better than this. Her passing has left a huge hole in my heart that can never be filled. I will forever thank God for putting this angel on Earth and changing my life for the better.

"Grandma" Lil was a wonderful volunteer at our school while Melanie went here. Her genuine warmth and caring manner were always evident. We will miss her. God's richest blessings!

I have known most of the Herferth family since I was very young. I went to school with Lisa and Lori. Their mom was so very special to so many people and will live in all our hearts. Her bright smile, her sassy sense of humor. She always knew how to make everything in the world brighter and better. She is in my heart always. You are all in my heart and prayers. I am so very sorry for your loss.
