I am very sorry to hear of Lil´s passing.. I am Anita´s sister and I visited Lil with my kids or by myself everytime I was in Vermont. Lil was a gem- It took her a long time but she finally gave me a piece of her Baptisia flower and I have it growing in New Jersey- I always think of her when it blooms and I would have Anita show her a picture.
Rest in peace Lil. XoXO
