Lil was a good friend to me when we worked at Medidentic in
Park Ridge. Even after we retired, we met for lunch a couple
times every year. Am sorry to hear she passed away.
Sincerely, Margaret Altergott

Lillian was a good friend of my mother and my family. When my Mother could no longer drive, Lillian would pick her up and take her to the event. We knew Lillian for around 30 years. She was very independent, caring and made the best pineapple upside down cake.

My condolences to the family. May God comfort you during this difficult time.

Auntie Lil always had a genuine smile when she greeted us. We were blessed to have her so many years. She never missed a "chance to dance" and we will remember her fondly. She was always so stylish with her jewelry to match every outfit. She took great care in everything she did...especially letting you know you were loved. We will miss her greatly.

What a wonderful example of living a full life! Independant and alwyas a joy to have at our family gatherings. Plus, I could never thank her enough for how kind she was to my Mom, Lil Lang, as both a wonderful friend and marvelous sister in law. I remember asking her how she was able to always remember to send birthday cards and she simply stated "I have it written down." The angels have a wonderful new addition. I hope that they had a cold beer in a glass waitimg for her.

Dear Lillian:
A wonderful Mother-In-Law & Step-Grandmother to my children! We hope you knew how much we missed those awesome holiday celebrations - Easter dinner & Christmas dinner at your house and having you join us for Thanksgiving dinner at our house! And all the other fun things we did. We are so sad that your life has come to a close but we are happy to have known & loved you in your long & interesting life and that you did not have to suffer for any length of time at the end. I always found you to be a remarkable woman (especially for your generation) with a fierce determination to be independent. You certainly were successful at that.
We know you went straight to Heaven so say Hi to Tony and Norm and give them a hug from me.
Love, Sandy
Our sympathy and compassion are for Lillian's family - especially Dennis, Denise, David, Brenda & Ben - and friends. We hope your memories will help comfort you and ease your loss.
