To the Lilly Family:

You have my deepest sympathy for your loss. Pawpaw was a great man that had a terrific sense of humor and wonderful stories. I'm not a blood relative but you have accepted me with open arms as if I was one. I love you all and PawPaw will be greatly missed.

With Deepest Sympathy To The Entire Lilly Family,

May the love of Christ carry you during this moment in your lives.

Hold on to your fondest memories and tuck them deep into your heart, for it's these thoughts and life-long lessons that your Father has given you which you will pass on to others, as well as cherish forever.

Although not knowing Mr. Lilly Sr. personally, I can surely say that his wonderful reflection is shining bright in his son Mr. Lilly Jr. who taught me in school over 25 years ago and who has also taught my own son this past year. Mr. Lilly Jr always loved and cared for his students as well as for the profession of education...traits that are not learned from books but at home with loving parents who raised their children to be leaders in the community and to impact the lives of others in a positive way.

Mr. Lilly Jr unknowingly helped me through a crises in my life when I was 13 years old. Just by attending his 7th grade science class and hearing him say "job well done" always made my day and gave me a sense of accomplishment. Thank you,

In His Love,

To the entire Lilly family...
What a joy it was to have called Tim "family" for some years. He was one of the smartest and most genuine people I've ever known. He was such a man of great strength, character and determination. He taught all of us how far prayer, love of your family, hard work and a good sense of humor will take you in this world. What a blessing that you've had your dad for so many years to share his business instincts and general life-lessons with you. I know I'm thankful for the years he touched my life. As always you're in my prayers.

Love & Blessings,

Uncle Tim was a true inspiration to me. Though he was an uncle-in-law, he was a man that always cared about me, and he will be missed. God has a better plan for him in heaven.

To Billie and the entire Lilly Family
I have traveled this road of sorrow and what gave me hope was my faith in God and to know that God has a perfect plan that reunites us all back to live with Him forever and ever.
May your hearts be comforted in knowing that He has blessed you all with fond and beautiful memories of your Dad.
As I pray for you and your family during this time turn all of your conserns to the Lord and He will provide you with the strenth that you will need in the coming days.
