We were Lillie's neighbors for 14 years! What a joy she was! We all loved to garden and enjoy our yards, so we often met out in the yard. There we would have great visits about gardening, and share tips. She always had great advice for us and we shared veggies and fruit with each other. We will really miss you Lillie. I am so glad we got to know you. Enjoy Heaven's gardens! I am so sorry for family and friends - please know you are in our prayers. She always looked forward to visits from all of you.
