I am so sad to hear of Lillian’s passing. She was my favorite little lady at the nursing home & she always made it a point to talk to me whenever I was there & also if we ran into each other like out shopping. The place won’t be the same without sweet Lillian. God rest your soul & may the angels hasten your journey to heaven.
