Dear Family of Lillian B Jenkins
I wish to extend my celebration of Lillian's life with you. She loved life, her family, our Heavenly Father, and His earthly family, those many children she taught and her friends. We celebrated everything. She could find humor in almost everything. To know Lillian was to love her. I started missing her 5-10 years ago when my health started failing. But all I had to do was to have a mental visit with her and be pumped up again. She will be missed, but never forgotten. God Bless each of you richly. May the memory of Lillian's life bring you peace, joy, courage, and success. Love your fellow man and follow the teachings of Jesus Christ.
With sincere Sympathy,

I did not see Lillian often over the years, but I visited her last summer and was planning another visit after Christmas. Without a doubt she was always a delight... so warm, interesting, wise, and fun. I think of her as a treasure. My sincere condolences.
