I'm so sorry for the loss of your mom. Even though it is the order of life, losing a parent...especially a mom is so hard.
I hope you can find comfort in the prayers and thoughts of those that knew and loved her and you. And and in the fond memories she made.

I am so sad to hear of Lillian's passing. She was such a sweet women! I visited with her at Hill top and she would share candy with my grandchildren. She was always looking after Grace for me and telling me if she didn't eat good. Such a big heart, she will be missed!

Dear Sherba Family
So sorry to learn of your Mom's passing. I remember her and your Dad in the choir when I was just a kid hanging out with my Aunt Mary and Uncle Benny. Later on I knew your Mom as BINGO Lil who called to see if I could work BINGO because someone was not able to work! All great memories centered around church activities.

I will keep Your Mon, Dad and you in my prayers.
