Lil taught us all how to live life to the fullest with love and friendship. Her legacy is how beautifully she gave something of herself to all she met. God sent you to us and now has called you back so He could have you sing and dance for eternity. We miss you very much and are so grateful you blessed our lives.

We were very blessed to meet Lil 4 1/2 years ago when we moved to Sun City Aliante. She taught us the card game Pan and thanks to her we have taught others the game. Lil and Larry helped us put together a fabulous New Year's Eve party which will be going on 4 years. This New Year's Eve party will be dedicated to her.

Lil: We love you and we will miss you.
