To my dear friend Lil - today is your birthday and the first time in many years that I would not be talking to you about what I sent you after you got your package. Although it has just been one month, I miss you so much! I know you are where you are free of pain and surrounded by the light we both talked about so much. As you look down on us that miss you so, know that it is us that are left in the empty place where we must fill the times we had with you with the wonderful memories you gave us all. I love and miss you my friend! Karen

Stan,

My thoughts and prayers are with you during this very difficult time. Lil was a wonderful Lady who always had a smile and a laugh to share with anyone. I will always remember the fun times I had with her, and all of us at the House of Blues in Universal Studios.

Lil will always be remembered with a smile because she brought sunshine to everyone she touched.

We are so terribly sorry for your loss. Lil was an amazing person and like her name, beautiful in every way. Tim was so happy he had a chance to see you both in May. There are no words to express how deeply she will be missed but may the knowledge that she lives on in you and in everyone she touched bring you peace. With our heartfelt sympathies, Tim and Linnae

Stan:

Even though you & Lil have been gone from Texas for years now, there are many of us here in Longview who have kept you guys in our thoughts and prayers. The melody of Lil's voice will stay with me always. She got more pure enjoyment out of life than almost anyone that I've ever been blessed to know. Dogs, cats, DisneyWorld, Epcot, the latest movies, friends . . . she loved it all -- and I will always love her and what she showed to me about how life should be lived.

My heart is so sad for you...
