While I did not know Ms. Lillian directly, I am so incredibly thankful for her. I was always told how strong of a woman she was and how much love she had to give. Lauren always said "everybody is family to her," and getting to witness that love and sentiment is such an honor. Thank you, Ms. Lilian, for being an incredible light and influence to my best friend. May you rest in peace and continuing shining your light on us all. To her family, I love you all and am honored to know you!
