John and family, I was very saddened to hear of Lilly’s passing, we have been friends since teen years and althpugh we have not spent much time together in later years I often thought of her, she was a lovely lady, hold onto your memories
John ,
My heart seems broken today; so very saddened to hear of Lillian’s passing. Although I did not see her enough, I always thought of her as a lovely, gracious and very kind friend; understanding and quick to put others at ease;. She always appeared pleased and ready to greet and welcome those of us from her “early days “ circle of friends.
I respectfully remember her as family oriented; gifted and smart in so many ways; especially in understanding others point of view, but …nevertheless , always maintaining one of her own! Also, in any of my time spent in her company, she ever represented what it is to be a lady, and…..more importantly, to be a wonderful human being..
Sincere condolences to you in your sorrow, John, and to Blanche, and all the family. May precious memories comfort all of you in your great loss.
Remembered, with love.
Sincerely,
Joan Clouter
