Terry, Curtis, Travis and Kaydee:
When we met Lillian we got to experience her warm nature, loving manner, fun and cheerful personality and her love of family and family gatherings. It was such a delight to meet her and enjoy her company that day at Jimmy's and Kaydee's home. May she rest with The Good Lord in His arms now and bring laughter to all in Heaven with her cheerful personality.
