My heart goes out to all of Lillian’s family.💖
I met Lillian months after your Dad passed.
I spent many days months,years visiting with her. Your mom was such a pleasure to know.
Even though I hadn’t seen her in years as we moved away. I would run into Diane on occasion and Always made a point to ask how she was.
She will be missed by many!💞
Peace be with you all today and always as you mourn one so loved!🙏
Take care
RIP.
