Dear Paul, Tom and Your Families,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you at this difficult time. I will always remember my Aunt Lillian as kind, caring, and creative. You were very fortunate to have had such a loving and caring mother and grandmother in your lives for as long as you did. May you hold onto your own precious memories and have comfort that she is now at peace and still watching over you with love.

With my sympathy,
Steve Skibo

Mrs. Skibo was one of the kindest people I have met. I was literally just talking about her just two days ago. She gave me a recipe for her strudel, and I have yet to make it. I will make it soon in her honor. With deepest sympathy, Patricia Domyan
