Dear Sandy and Wanda My heart goes out to both of you. I am so sorry for your loss. But what wonderful memories the three of you share. The love and devotion that was so evident when you were together was something that was to be admired and envied. Aunt Lil gave her love so freely to our great big extended family and many many friends. She was happiness when she was surrounded by her family and FEEDING them!! Aunt Lil will be missed by all!!! Love you both, Linda

My beautiful, beautiful grand-mother, how much I love you. You were the bright light of so many of my days. I always enjoyed our time together. You became a "best friend" to me through our many years and I always looked up to you. Being as close to you as I was, I know the battles you had day to day, always with an upbeat smile and perseverance. You will always be so very close to me and I pray that one day I will be as much of a fantastic grand-mother as you have been to me. My eternal love forever.....Dawn

Dear Sandy and Wanda, So sorry I can't be with you on Saturday. I will be there in my thoughts and in my heart. The memories that I have of her while growing up as a kid in Elkton will always be in my Heart. I worked with her in the fabric department at Newberry's for a short time when I was a teenager. I will always remember how beautiful she was always dressed, with her pretty jewelery and matching outfits. She was one Classy Lady and I loved her Dearly. Love to you both my Dear Cousins, and all your families. God Bless You All. I love you very much. Love Always, Michele

I have too many wonderful memories to speak only of one memory. I know there was not a more wonderful sister in the world. I never heard a cross word from her to me in my entire life, which is pretty rare between sisters. You always had an I love you and a smile ready for me when ever she saw me. She loved not only her own children and their families, but loved my family and children also. She was full of concern and love for all her family and friends. Never a unkind word about anyone. She will be in my thoughts every day of my life .How I will get through life without her will take a lot of help from up above. I love you dearly my sweet sister.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Aunt Lil, my beautiful aunt! How your lovely face, your smile will be missed from this earth! My memories go back to the time when you and Herb were first married and lived in a tiny third floor apartment of a house long gone now where the Union Hospital Parking Lot is now. I was so fascinated that my favorite Uncle Herbie had a pretty new bride and I would often make surprise visits to you. You wee always gracious to me as if I were a grown-up come to call. You have never changed from that sweet good nature. I love you. "Little Ann"

Sandy, Wanda & Family, I was so sorry to hear of Lillian's passing. Lill was such a nice lady and always enjoyed talking with her whenever we would run into each other. Hold on to all those wonderful memories and may they help during this time of sorrow. "God saw she was getting tired and a cure was not to be so he wrapped his arms around her and whispered come with me. With tearful eyes you watched her and saw her fade away, although you loved her dearly, you could not make her stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands to rest, God broke your hearts to prove he only takes the best". God Bless & Love to All, Betty
