Dear Uncle Bill, Craig, Brenda, Rick, Nancy and the rest of the family~ My heart breaks for the loss of dear Aunt Lillie. I have so many fond memories, but one that makes me laugh: I was spending the night and somehow a bat got into the bedroom. We were screaming bloody murder and to our rescue came Aunt Lillie with a tennis racket! She ran around that room and over the beds like an athlete!! With us kids screaming and laughing from under the beds ..... she got her bat. Please know that you are all in my thoughts and prayers.

Dear Bill and family - It is hard to say good bye to one so dear. From our Camp Fire, FFA and school days to sharing the tales about our families, you and Lillie have been very special to us. We can't think of anyone who was more of a friend to all than Lillie was. We have been blessed to have you both as our friends all these years. "When our treasure becomes a memory, our memories become a treasure." Thank God for beautiful memories. We are blessed to call you and your family "friends".

Dear Bill, and Family- I feel blessed to have been Lillie's cousin. She was as beautiful on the inside as out; she was much like her dear mother. I had a nice visit with Lillie about a month ago at the care center. I know her passing will leave a void in your lives; but "Death leaves a heartache no one can heal; Love leaves a memory no one can steal." I believe her faith in God carried her through and "He put His arms around her and whispered "come with Me". God be with all of you. Kris & Kent Wheeler

Bill and Family: I met Lillie when we joined the Camp Fire Girls. We must have been eleven. As we got to know each other we stayed overnight at each other's homes. After high school our lives touched from time to time at mutual friend's homes or class reunions. I wish it could have been more often. Lillie will be dearly missed, but I will always remember her laughter!!
