We just learned about the accident and the loss of your Mother and now the loss of your Dad. Please accept our deepest sympathy. This is a very tramatic time and rest assured their many friends and your many friends are praying for you and most of all Jesus is there to comfort you.
We will miss our meetings with Helen and Frank for breakfast or lunch when they were in St. Louis.
God be with you all at this time and may he wrap his loving arms around you and comfort you.

I feel your losses and extend my deepest, profound sympathies to the entire Lilly family. Your dad and mom are now together in Heaven and they will both watch over your families. You, and the world have lost two remarkably kind, loving, and sweet parents, so dedicated to their family, friends, the church, and to helping anyone in need.

Sadly and with love and prayers for all the Lilly Family,

Aunt Rose Malysiak

We were your parents neighbors for 8 years when they lived on Grant in the big green farm house. Not a day goes by when I am outside that I don't look into the yard and remember them tending to their garden and your dad working in the garage. They were always together. They made a big impact on our life and now even a bigger one to read just how special they were. Heaven has two wonderful angels and they will be missed very much. Our prayers are with you now.

I don't know the Lilly family, but have been following the sad story of Mr. & Mrs. Lilly's car accident. Please accept condolences from a stranger who was touched by the story of your parents, who lived long, loved each other, and raised a beautiful family. May your memories sustain you during this difficult time.
