My sincere condolences to the family. Philippians 4:6,7 “Do not be anxious over anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; 7Â and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.”
Our prayers and sympathy are extended to the family and friends. Her work for the many women, children and youth around the world was much appreciated.

Ms. Lillie was such a sweet lady. She had style & class: matching head to toe. She was so friendly. I remember singing in a mass/combined choir she got together for her church about 7 years ago. I brought a co*worker with me and she said the more the merrier. I am choir member from Holy Redeemer Catholic Church. My sincere condolences to her entire family. May God’s peace sustain you through this time.
Love,
Janice Mayfield
