Dear Uncle Bob and Family... Our deepest sympathies for your loss.. I'm sure that my Mom and Dad, Paul and Betty, were sure to greet Auntie Lil in the afterlife. I can almost hear them all gathering and celebrating their lives now.

I am so so sorry to have heard about Lillian's passing. She was such a kind and thoughtful friend to my Mother, Greta Livingston. They played bridge together regularly until Mother reached the age of 100! I will never forget the wonderul parties to which Mother was always invited. Lillian definitely was an inspiration to everyone because of her kindness, optimism and above all her love of life. Please extend my deepest sympathies to the entire family.

To all of Lillian Fong's family and friends: I am so very sorry for your loss. Lillian was a ray of light and good humor at The Carlisle, where she befriended my grandmother, Greta Livingston, and included her in celebrations large and small. Whenever I encountered Lillian on my visits, her energy, warmth and obvious joy in life were truly uplifting. I will remember her fondly, and share my condolences with all of those who were close to her. May her memory be a blessing.
