A survivor, a determined woman who later became an author and put her extraordinary story out for so many to learn of her and her incredible journey. Heartfelt condolences to the Ebert family, so very sorry for your loss. May God be with you all at such a difficult time.

REST in PEACE .... Lily

Ebert Family and friends,
I have been following Lily and her great-grand son Dov for many months. I found her to be an inspiration. Her story of survival from the Holocaust echoed in her book Lily's Promise and her Tik Toks were beautiful. I looked forward to her Friday message - "Hello Tik Tok Shabat Shalom". May God hold her in his arms and send love to the family and to her thousands of followers. Truly will be missed.. Love and God Bless, Theresa Grottole, Windsor, CT USA - [email protected]
