I'm so sorry; my heart goes out to you for your loss. There are no words to express our sadness when a love one passes but our loving God knows how you feel and comforts us with His word. (John 6:40 NWT)

I taught with Lillian and drove her many days to work back in the 60's. She and I lived in the Twin Lakes area of Las Vegas and taught at Vegas Verdes. She had a wonderful personality and was the same age as my mother. I lost track of her in '65 when I married and started my family. Thank you for listing her in the LVRJ. May she rest in peace!
