I was privileged to become acquainted with Lillian through her daughter, Bonnie, when we lived in Alaska. I found her to be kind, thoughtful and fun loving. Enjoyed the lively card games with her. She was kind enough to write to me several times after my husband passed away several years ago.
I know she will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
