I remember staying overnight with Lil'Lil and the family and playing board games and waking up at 10pm for ice cream with your father when he came home. I especially remember the visits to the farm and the "canned" tomatoes and the cows. Keeping good pictures in my mind. Love Patricia

Paul and Family:
We will always have the fondest memories of Miss Lillian's visits to our house when she visited you in Florida. We were inspired by her enthusiasm and unbridled friendship. Lee and Valerie will always remember the "sweet treats" as she provided a role of Grandma to our kids who were so far away from their own family. Paul you know you are like a Brother to me, and I will always think of the Schmalzer's as family.
