I was so blessed to become a part of your family 24 yrs ago when I married your son Herb. There was never a time that you did not help someone out being family or friend. That was just your nature. I am so glad that you are now at peace in your new home with our Father, Dad and Jesse Jr. Until we meet again, thank you for everything , I love you and miss you!!
My Aunt Lillian was not afraid to make it in this world. She was always trying to make things better for herself and her family and any of the nieces or family members she could help out. She always had good advice on how to get out and find a job, whether I t be with the Civil Service or other areas, she always had words of encouragement. She was a very loving and kind lady that was full of energy and stayed very busy. She loved her boys and their families so very much and was so proud of each and every one of them. I always loved going shopping for shoes with her as we both had a love for shoes. She will be missed so very much, I love you Aunt Lil.
I am so very blessed to have had Lillian as my grandmother. She was always a sweet kind caring person who always put others before herself. She is going to be missed dearly forever and for always. You will always be in my heart and in my mind grandma. Keep grandpa and uncle Jesse company till we can all make it up there. LOVE YOU**Your granddaughter Jenna**
