So many wonderful memories of Aunt Lil at our family’s birthday celebrations and holidays. She always had a laugh, a smile and a camera ready! Love and hugs to you Carol and Kay 💗💗
Aunt Lil and Uncle Marly were such a wonderful couple. Clearly in love and always together. Aunt Lil always brightened up the room. She loved family gatherings and took lots of pictures and shared them. Lovely lady who will be missed.
She was everything I ever needed to teach me about life…the best of the best! She touched so many lives in so many ways. We all will remember her for all the rest of our lives❤️
