It seems like God always take the good ones first. Lillian was a good friend of mine from my first days at the Tunnel. Always had a kind word and a smile every time I saw her. She will definetely be missed. May God bless her family during their time of sorrow.
Lil always took time to smile and ask about our dogs. She cherished her pets and treated them as family members. Lil’s quick whit and smile are missed daily at work. Condolences to her family.
Lil was an angel. I’m honored to have known her. She suffers no more.
Lil, To have one friend is lucky, to have a friend like you is a blessing. Good friends are the rare jeweles of life–difficult to find and impossible to replace.
To your friends and family:
It’s hard to understand why people are taken away from us, but find comfort that you were a special part of such a well-lived life. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, he leaves a gift of memories in exchange.
Good-bye our dear friend,
Cora, Ray, Hope, Miss Penny, Kira & Brandi
