To The Family, I am truly sorry to hear about the passing of Ms Lillie. In this sorrowful time I would like to extend my heartfelt condolences.Ms Lillie had such a beautiful spirit. Barbara McClain, Ben Hill UMC Church Member.
My deepest condolences to the family. My mom; Doris Murry, aunts; Norma Thompson, Carolyn Fortson, and uncle; Paul Fortson all worked together at Nabico. She was such a blessing.
Lillie and I were one telephone call away weekly. She invited me weekly to go to Lenox Square to shop because she loved shopping. Although, I could not shop because of surgery, the invite did not stop. I miss my LILLIE.
The master has seen fit to pick another flower from his garden. My condolences to the entire family. Lillie and I are cousins- and this is how it connects: Lillie's Grandmother Sophia Dean Phillips and my Granddaddy Jim Dean were siblings.
Losing a loved one is incredibly painful, and very personal.
