My condolences
I live in Atlanta (Sandy Springs) and I lived in Des Plaines, Ill. My parents were some of the original members of Maine Township Jewsih Congregation and knew your family.
Again, my condolences

I only met Lillian a couple of times, at her apartment in Atlanta. Her love for Scott, however, was clear in those two visits. This was clear even as she scolded Scott for many small things. She loved his visits, and, I believe, found many excuses for Scott to come see her.
