My brother mentioned Lil & our mom taking off with his beach buggy. Mom passed last week not too long after she and I were speaking about Lil's passing. She was upset that the last call from Lil kept cutting in and out so she really didn't get to have that final conversation with her.

I can picture them both right now. Wonder if they have those buggies in Heaven?

I was shocked and saddened to learn of Lil's passing. I met her years ago through my mother. She had the best sense of humor and welcomed me as if we had known each other for years. Her love for her family (2&4 legged) was well known. My prayers go out to her family during this difficult time...may your broken hearts be filled with her laughter and your minds filled with the beautiful memories of your time with this amazing woman.

When I started volunteering at Citrus County Animal Shelter, Lil was my constant. She was always willing to help me, to teach me, to guide me and best of all SMILE at me no matter what. I missed her immediately when she got sick and hoped to see that wonderful face one more time. It was not to be and I will continue to miss her every day.
