I so loved that girl!!!!! So many great memories--- the love of chocolates,her friends and family,her adventures! I got to know so many of Lily's friends and family through just driving her wherever she needed to go!Her kindness and enjoyment of life will never be forgotten. I will always consider her a very dear friend. She was such a remarkable woman.I will never forget all the laughter we shared. May you all find comfort in knowing the kindnesses and blessings she bestowed on all those around her.Thanks for the memories.

I have always loved seeing your mother Deb and sharing our mother/daughter stories. She was a brilliant and gracious and kind person. To think she lived so long into her nineties is a real gift to you and your family. I am thinking of you and Pat and Kevin and Kym for such a loss from your family. So much love in your family will help you get through this tough time. Love JB and Chet
