Tilly my buddy! What a good time we've had these past 8 years! Oh the laughing we did! You sure deserve to be riding in Heaven on your favorite tractor all dolled up in your rings and necklaces! I so treasure the time we spent playing games, riding around "investigating" St. Joe's and Trinity (he..he..he..) doing crafts and just plain discussing life in general. You were a big part of my life and I know I'll see you again...so keep them' fields plowed and stop the tractor when you see me running thru the fields to give you that hug! God Bless your family and comfort them as we remember you always.

My condolences to the family.
It was such a joy to be with Tilly when I volunteered at St. Joe's. I will never forget our arts and crafts times and playing games together. She will always have a special place in my heart.
It was truly a blessing to know her.
