I am so very sorry about Lillie's passing. I worked with Lillie as a supervisor and she was a special person.

I was so saddened to hear about the passing of Ms. Garland from my sister just this morning 27 April. I attended school with all her children and visited their home where Ms. Garland welcomed all with a smile. I live in Augusta, Ga presently but looked forward to seeing her while home in Lynchburg. God Bless and comfort her family in the days to come. BLESSINGS.
