I am so grateful for my friendship with Lilia and our many visits over the years - and grateful she loved to dance! I regret that I didn't get to know her sooner. Prayers for her family - she loved you all so much!

It was a pleasure to know Lilia, I like that she told me about her lifes adventures. I enjoyed talking with her after masses, she would tell my husband about her days as a truck drive, he was always intetested. Then I remember seeing her at a thrift store we discussed our favorite thrift stores and which had the best prices and the best inventory and sales, we talked for more than an hour and had a great visit right there in the Salvation Army Store.
It was a sad moment when I heard that Lilia was ill, she was such a lovely and vibrant soul.
May my friend Lilia rest in peace and May Hope and Chloe find comfort in our Merciful Lord Jesus Christ.

Love and prayers,
Barbara Marcis
