My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. She will be missed deeply. Michele Bruch
Lillian was one of my mentors at Bank IV Towne East and my friend for years after. Her graciousness, honesty and kindness were such a blessing to me. I pray her beautiful spirit and memory never fades. I am so sad that I will not be able to attend her funeral or the viewing. My heart and prayers are with you, the family. God bless you for the way you honored Lillian and loved and cared for her.
Lillian and I were neighbors for several years., She was absolutely beautiful, inside and out. A really wonderful lady!! She often talked about her family and it was obvious how much love she had for them. My heart goes out to the family and you’re in my prayers.
Lillian was a special lady. She had an infectious smile that always made you feel better when you were with her. Her calm and courteous demeanor helped in her customer service work. While we worked together, we quickly became friends and l came to know her family. She was so proud of them. Though l cannot attend the memorial l will be livestreaming the service. I am praying that God will sustain you today and in the days head. Thank you Lillian for enriching my life, l will miss you
I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed working with Lillian at Boulevard State Bank (oh so many years ago). Such a kind and friendly person.
