We knew Lil for many years and
played cards with her and Mike a lot.
They came to MD for our 25th wedding ann. After we moved to FL,
we lost touch. May God have her in
the palm of his hand.

What a wonderful woman, I am glad to have gotten the chance to know her from the times at the Mercy Hospital when she would be on our unit for therapy. We all just loved her and she was one of our "favorites". Never missed a bingo game either no matter how she felt. God Bless you Lillian! Love you!

Although for only a short time, I was blessed to know Lil. She was so kind and caring, the sweetest you could ever ask for. My thoughts are with your family.
