Sue, Michael and family;

So sorry to hear that Lillian is gone. When we think of her we'll always remember the memories shared, and above all what a wonderful person she was. We can't remember a time when she wasn't smiling...She will truly be missed.
Love to all...Pete, Janice, Alexander and Micaela

Sue and family, we want to express our sympathy to you. Lillian was our neighbor at Hidden Valley and we always looked forward to her visits whether out on the street or at our table. There was never a more kind and loving person as Lillian. Her chief concern was that her entire family know and love the Lord. She must be dancing in Heaven! God bless you with comfort knowing where she is. Sharon and Bub Steinke
