My mom was a very thoughtful and caring person. They say that the greatest gift that you can give is love. My mom constantly gave her love to whom ever she met even if it was a complete stranger. She had a way about her that when she walked into a room people noticed her without saying a word. I will miss her loving smile, her constant joke cracking, her wonderful singing voice, and her beautiful eyes! She always said to her grandson Ryan, "How much does grandma love you?". Then she would open arms all the way and say, "This much!" I believe that she loved everybody that much!

Mom, I love you and miss you and your love of life and love will inspire me to be the best person I can be! I hope you have fun flying up in heaven!!!!

My deepest sympathies to my friend Nancy, JoAnn, Roy and their Father. Lillian was a kind woman who was always nice to me as a child and adult. She made the best peanut butter cookies. She carried me home when I stepped on a bee in her yard while playing with Nancy. Sweet woman. May God bless her and free her from her earthly chains and disease, and make her fly free with the angels. With Love... Mary (Harnett) Nimietz & Greg
