My Great Aunt Lilly. So sorry to hear you left us but what a wonderful life! 99 years of age. You are now home and at peace. My condolences to my cousins. You guys all did a wonderful job with taking care of Aunt Lilly and should be very proud of that. She is home now and we will see her again. I know my Grandma (her sister, Snow) was so happy to see her and probably waiting at the gate! Love you guys.
