Dear parents of lily, I´m going to miss her so much. I did the musical when she was in pit and no matter how late of the night it was she was also so full of energy. Her hugs could heal any broken heart and her smile could warm you up on a freezing day. Her laugh was so contagious and was my favorite thing to hear. Thank you for allowing her to go to my school and letting me meet such an amazing girl. Fly high Lily and May you Rest In Peace.

My name is Vicki Powell and you don´t know me, but I am Greta Mandigo´s Meema. I can share your grief and know what you´re going through because we lost our son, Burkett Powell, in December 2010 at the age of 38 from a grand maul seizure. Greta doesn´t remember Burk because she was only 16 months old when he died. He was divorced but had three children all of which we keep in touch with. There is nothing worse than losing a child, but I will tell you after time, things get better; however, there is still not a day that goes by that I don´t think of Burk. It´s been a little worse lately because I just lost my husband of 54 years this past November and it brought back all of those memories of losing Burk. I had read about your daughter and my heart was going out to your family before Greta told me that this was your daughter. I felt I needed to reach out to you and am here if you ever want to talk. My email is listed but you can also ask Greta and she will give you my phone number. I am more than willing to get together with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this most difficult time.

So many great memories at the pool. What place they got, the time drops, time adds are so secondary to the friendships and time we all spent together enjoying each other's company. Thank you for your friendship and for placing Lily in our lives and hearts forever. All our love to you. The Kollmorgen Family

I worked with Lily as one of her supervisors at Ace Hardware. I can only say good things about this girl. As busy as she was, she always put her all into work. We all loved and enjoyed working with her. She always had a sweet smile on her face and was happy to work with me. My heart is completely broken. My condolences go to her family as they go through this time. Rest easy Lily.

Ann&Paul, We are so sorry to hear about Lily, I Know you both have wonderful and loving memories of her. Our memory of Lily was you both wheeling her around in her stroller near our home, a beautiful baby with the biggest smile and gorgeous red hair. You are both in our thoughts and prayers.

Ann and Paul I am so sorry that you were going through this. She was a lovely young lady and she brought joy to my life the few times I spent time with her. She was such a light in the world. And she is still very loved and I promise you she will not be forgotten.
