I'm so sorry for your loss. Your Mother was such a nice and good lady. Her service for her country is most appreciated. She also did a lot of work for the town of Hebron where she resided for many years. I lived on Prairie just around the corner from Lillian when she was raising her children. May you find comfort knowing she is in God's care.
