    My love and prayers to the family especially to her children Dennis, Diane and Debbie-most especially to Deb.

    Lilian was a faith-filled, dedicated, loving, caring and truly a light from Jesus Christ to every single person she met. Lilian always would make you feel special and loved by God just simply by her words, her hug, or her smile.

    Lilian was truly one of a kind, an angel on earth and she leaves behind such a legacy in her children and grandchildren. It has been such an honor to know Lilian and share so much of our Catholic faith with her and Debbie.

    God has a new Angel who is now looking over her beautiful family.
    Remaining always in my prayers, Angie Trudell
