I was very sorry to hear of Lillian's passing. Although I only met her a few times, I know she and Paul were very kind to my mother, Jessie Brandhoff, often taking her to church. My condolences to the family.

I am so sorry to hear of Lillian's passing. I am Barbara Johnson's daughter and if she was able to comment she would be very sad and miss her very much. Lillian always thought of Barbara during holidays and would also call to check on her. She will be missed.
