Lillian is fondly remembered by me. I was a little girl at Hudson Lake when my father (Lee Miller) passed away at a young age. My mother (Mary) would stop to visit Lillian´s folks and I would with her. Lillian was busy being a young adult but took time for me. She was sweet and encouraging to me as I grew up. I won´t ever forget her or her parents. Such good people.
