I have fond memories of Tilly. I have known her and her family for a long time. I remember when I took her and her mother to RI Hospital to have her seen by a cardiologist. She was about 4 yrs. old at the time. Years go by so fast. I pray for the entire family and for the hope to see her again and what a wonderful reunion it will be. No more tears, no more pain. Hold all of your memories near and dear and speak of Tilly often. Much strength and courage will be needed in the days ahead. So very sorry for your loss.
