    Aunt Lillian was one of the greatest Aunts to have. She would be there for you when you were down. I know, she was good to me when I probably didn’t deserve it. I Love this woman more than you will ever know. She has 4 of the greatest kids I know. She will forever be in my heart. She has gone home now and not suffering. Aunt Lillian will always be in my heart. I Love you Aunt Lillian…
