Lillie,
When I got the word you were ill, I called. We were classmates and best friends. We went away to college together. We shared so many fond memories. The last was our visit to Las Vegas. We planned a visit to Ms. to just sit and talk. I feel so bad we were unable to keep that appointment. You will always be my best friend. Family, I am sorry for your lost. She was always the best.

Lillie will truly be missed by me; her beautiful smile, her generosity, and her positive outlook on life was truly a gift from God. She loved her family and friends and unselfishly shared her time and home with them. She was a genuinely caring person. Most dreams became a reality through her tireless efforts, her cooperation, and her spiritual beliefs.

Lillie was one of the most genuine and special friends that I have had. I will miss her beautiful smile, her positive outlook on life and her unselfishness. She truly loved her family and friends. If Lillie dreamed about an idea she worked tirelessly until it became a reality.
Rest in peace, Lillie
