Lillian was my mother-in-law. After my own mother passed, I still had as wonderful a mother as mine. I worked with her for 7 years at BOCES and she introduced me to the BEST son she had and he is my true love to this day! I will miss her and never forget her loving and kind ways. Rest now Mom, you were loved immensely.
