Valentina Lillig Obituary

John and all. My deepest sympathies to all of you on the loss of Tina. I was shocked when I read about it in the Wednesday Journal a week after it had occurred. When I think of Tina I bring to mind all the walks that the two of you did almost on a daily basis. We would stop and chit chat for a few minutes and bring each other up to date on our children and grandchildren. One of the things I miss about having moved from the area is that I no longer see the two of you for those quick conversations. I always watch the two of you together and thought how delightful that your loved for each other continued for all that time. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

dear john & family:

you have my sincere sympathies and prayers.

i had hoped to be with you as you celebrated tina's life this past saturday. unfortunately, something unexpected came up. however, i said a few prayers for tina and your family during the time of her mass.

in reading the other entries, i can see that tina was a fine christian, partner to you and mother to your children.

in school we learned, john, that life was the beginning of our journey and death was the passage to everlasting life.

Your love for tina will become a memory but this memory will always be a treasure you will hold in your heart forever.

Dear John and Family I was so sorry to read about your wife and mothers' passing. I hope she didn't suffer. She was too young. I know you and your family will miss her greatly. My prayers are with you and your family.

Dear John, John, Matt and Thomas,

I was truly shocked and deeply saddened by the sudden death of your beloved wife and mother.
LeeAnne and I often talked about Tina and you and how she loved her vocation. It gladdened my heart to see how many people showed their respects to you and your sons.

Dear John & Son's-I am so sorry for the sudden loss of Tina. She was a remarkable women with the gift of patients, kindness and above all love.

John, having never met your son's, daughter-in-laws & grandchildren I feel I know them through sharing photographs & stories with you & Tina.

When my boys were young Tina was always a great source of reason in getting through some trying times raising boys, and she was always quick with a funny story about her own boys. (don't worry I won't share!) One bit of advice that she gave me helped me for many years when my boys were teenagers "Say what you have to say & then be quite, less is more"

God Bless your family.

Tina will be greatly missed.

Much Love,

Rita

I knew Tina only in passing, but could tell she was a great and lovely woman.
My prayers are with her family.

John and Anna,

So sorry for the loss of Tina. Her life was a prayer. Our prayers are with you now.

Our dearest Tina will be thought of, prayed to and honored

by all Larry & Margaret Nelson family .

John and Family,

May you feel the Good Shepherd carrying you in your grief.

Tina was so very special. I remember when we were in Toronto for a meeting, my luggage was lost for four days. Tina graciously offered me clothes she had bought as souvenirs from the University. I will never forget her great sense of humor and her gentleness.

I am so grateful I knew her through the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd. She touched many people.
