Wow, Aunt Lillian...I know this is late but this is me. When I was younger I would go to your house and I was terrified of you. You had the face and you were so blunt that I didn't know how to take you. That was your armor because under all that hard exterior, you were the most soft, gentle kindness women I've ever had the pleasure of knowing. When we would cinema to visit it was always a good time...from shopping at garage sales looking for Fenton, to the pawn store looking for new jewelry for uncle Jackie to buy you. I know it's been over 2 years since you've been gone but your missed here terribly. I hope you and uncle Jackie are together and happy. Till we meet again, sleep on paradise. Love, your niece Tara

Well it’s 5 LONG months since your gone. So crazy things have been happening at the most unusual times since your gone. Was that you closing the door in the house ? Music box you gave me as a kid started playing on its own. Something rolling across the floor yet nothing was there other then the sound with no one moving in the house. Seeing 11:11 again, started happening like it did after dad passed now it’s happening again. What are you trying to say. ? Maybe send me the lotto numbers ha ha. Hope dad is treating you well, the world is a crazy place. Not much has changed. Thinking of you and dad. Love ya both. Sending you the sunrise from our home.

Wow mom it’s been just a bit more then a month and I can’t believe how fast it’s gone. I’m doing my best to follow your wishes but as you knew there would be obstacles causing issues. In doing my best to be the daughter you knew you could trust to follow your wishes. So you decided to pass away on the day I closed on my home, your way of being with us one way or the other. Went straight to the condo packed ans headed back. I drove and was up 56 hours straight. I was up doing all you needed. The rest of the week was your funeral arrangements. Nothing like picking out your mom’s casket on Valentine’s Day when Tim couldn’t be there due to work. He wishes he could have been at your funeral. Since we just closed in our home, I told him it was ok with all I had to do.. Well anyway we love an miss you. I wish you would have moved. If here is a heaven, you will speak in someone’s ear, to try to get them to compromise, to follow your wishes. Tim and myself, josh Nicole, Mary an Jack are all missing you. Still having a hard time believing it. Miss you, love you. pS dad is buried with you. We all miss you Jack, Mary, Josh, Nicole, Tim an myself.

Lillian was not my aunt but she let me call her Aunt Lillian until our last phone call. When i was little she let me braid her long blonde hair in our kitchen. I thank her for giving me cousins that I can have an adult relationship with. We might all be spread out but you guys have a ton of support. This is what family is for.
I loved how close her and grams were. They we always on the phone with one another. I remember she never missed a family BBQ. SHE MADE THE BEST FREAKING MACARONI SALAD. As the years progressed she would make me my own container because I would try never to share it with the rest of the family. Come to think of it we might still have the container that she would always bring it in...

So many losses this year. Your mom stands out because she was so close to my mother. They chatted very often and I'm sure they are watching over us and chatting away. I understand how much of a void it is to lose your mother. I've told my daughter that this is rapidly becoming the cousins world. I'll miss Lillian. I have admired her strength. Both in beating the cancer and keeping things together after losing your dad. After sharing that letter I believe they are together now. Hold on to your precious memories and live a good life for her. Love cousin Ellen.

As a child my house was the go to place for all of my Aunts and Uncles and cousins. We always had company. Being from such a large family, there was always another adult to talk to whenever I needed ,but the only person I felt comfortable enough with was Aunt Lillian. She was always my favorite Aunt. No matter what “the adults” were doing; no matter what the conversation, Aunt Lillian would always stop whatever she was doing to give me undivided attention. When I walked into the room, I can vividly remember her beautiful smile and “Hi Suzy how are you baby?” I never felt like I was interrupting. She always made me feel like she was completely 100% focused on me, and truly was asking how I was. She wanted the answer. I sat with Aunt Lillian and had countless cups of coffee and more “deep” conversations then I can count. Some people might’ve said she was crass because she cursed a lot, I think she was real. She told you exactly how she felt. But she also told you how much she loved you; she was completely honest with whatever she felt. You knew where you stood with her and I LOVED that. When I had my first daughter Tricia, she was a second grandmother to her. The bond they had was so beautiful. Tricia still talks about the soup Aunt Lillian made where she would take the green things out for her. She also still has a miniature cast-iron kitchen set from Aunt Lillian that she cherishes. I wish I would’ve done things differently the last few years. I just hope Aunt Lillian knows how much I really love her. She was the most loving unique woman and I was so lucky to have her as my Aunt and friend. I’m so sorry for your loss. She is in my prayers always

To Aunt Tammy & Uncle Donald
On behalf of myself, Tim, Josh, Nicole and Jack & Mary (Jack’s wife) I wanted to thank you for writing a beautiful eulogy for my mother. Something I couldn’t do without tremendous emotion. It takes a strong person to be able to do that. Everyone loved it. The Deacon presented it well and there were many laughs in the room, which made my mother’s Funeral more of a celebration of her life then mourning her passing. I want to thank you for putting your own beautiful touch on my moms life and in her death. Both you and my god father uncle Donald meant the world to my mom, from my conversations with my mom. Thank you for being such a important part of our family. Aunt Tammy thank you for being there for my moms brother, uncle Donald he need support now. My mom was as extremely close to her brother. Thank you for all your love and support during this hard time for those who loved my mom. Most of all I want to Thank you for being a special part of our family, I truly value both you an I am sure my mom looking down from Heaven, is very thankful for a beautiful eulogy and so am I. Jack an his wife Mary also appreciate you having the courage to do what we couldn’t because of our emotions. With love and respect thank you again for a beautiful eulogy for my mom. Love Dawn and Tim

Josh always loved the laughs at the table and thanks for making all the Christmas’ s special. Although you knew I hated NY an the cold weather, I’m not surprised you brought me back to it this February lol.
