Reese (Tex) and I loved Lily very much. She was a great person and beautiful lady. Will always remember our special trip to the Grand Canyon.

Our fondest memory of "Diamond Lil" was our trip to the Grand Canyon. She nicknamed my husband (her first cousin) Tex and he nicknamed her Diamond Lil. She was a fun loving person and we will never forget her for the beautiful person she was.

I have such wonderful and colorful childhood memories of "Aunt Lil," my father's first cousin (Charley Adamson). We would go to lunch/shopping sprees downtown Pgh. and it was magical. She would tell jokes and laugh and her blue eyes would twinkle - staying at her house was heavenly. My condolances to Bonnie and her family. With much love, Charlene Adamson
