So much has happened since you left us. We all miss you so much but try to remember that you always said once someone passed they have "no worries". How true. So when I think of you I know all your worries are gone and you are happy with the family. Love you always.

It´s been almost 11 years and I´m still missing
my Tuesdays with You. I try to follow your motto of "no worries" but so much has happened and I wish we could talk. You are still in all our hearts and thoughts much more than you would have ever realized. So many good memories that we all share and cherish.

Tuesdays with Lil will never be the same. We love you and miss you so much. I am glad that you were able to hear the good news about Sarah and Sean. I think she picked the perfect reading at your mass. You always said I had good kids and they proved you right. You may be gone from our sight but never from our hearts.

Our thoughts of Aunt Lil.
We spent many wonderful years with you, Uncle Joe and Bobby. Each memory from those times holds a special place in our hearts. The thing that touched us most was your love and tenderness for Bobby and Joseph.
We are so sorry to see you go but knowing you are now again with Joe, Bobby and so many family members that you loved makes our grief easier to bare. You will be missed.

So many memories ~ walking from Summit over the wooden bridge to Argo with my Mother and Bart, looking forward to one of Aunt Lil's dinners...taking the bus with her to visit Dolly...loving how she dubbed me "Maggie" and called Bart and me the "Gold Dust Twins"...impressed with her "no-nonsense" attitude toward life and living, yet sensing and feeling her gentle and compassionate side.
You will be missed, Aunt Lil. You touched many lives ~ those you are reunited with now, and those still here who mourn your passing.

Aunt Lil - you bring me back to Chicago and many memories of old and growing up - I think I got my tenacious nature from you. Lots of memories of barbecues and many fishing trips to Crystal Lake with you, Uncle Joe and Bobby, and of course so many Xmas Eve's and holidays for 23 years. And your special Polish recipes which I often long for, but mostly your unbelievable carrot cake.
I just know your reunion must be wonderful with all those in our family whom we will always miss and continue to love.

My how the time has flown by, since you gave me my first bath.I would hold on to you for dear life when you would pull the plug out of the bath tub drain. I was always afraid that I would go down the drain with the water. But you always wrapped me in a towel and in your loving way you assured me that I was safe in your arms. Now I am asssured that you are wrapped in the loving arms of Jesus.

You will be missed my fiesty Aunt Lil! I'll always remember your "go-get 'em" attitude and how fearless you were of speaking your mind. But mostly I'll remember your kindness and the silly nickname, "Jaws," you branded me with that always made me smile.
My best to your family and friends.
