When I think of Lillian I think of fun and laughter.  Riding around in cars in the '70s, dancing at T's Pub in Downingtown.  Too many to mention here. I'll remember her always, she was such a special person to me.  I've known her practically my whole life. My Mom just loved her too and her blonde hair.  All those blonde Softchins she would say. I'm just going to miss her so much.  She was so concerned about her family and and her beloved Daddy. I pray for peace and healing for her family. I'm so so sorry for your loss. She loved you all with all her heart and was so thankful for all of your help in her last weeks and days. God bless you all!  Love to you all! <3

Dear Lillian, I so remember when you were just a little girl, your Aunt Donna (Landis) and I would take you and your sister Sandy on outings.  You were both the sweetest little girls who I know grew up to be just as sweet adult.  Although I lost contact with you when I moved to California, I never forgot you and your Aunt Donna would keep me up-to-date on your life.  In the last year, we became friends on Facebook and I loved it.  I know you are at peace now and were welcomed into heaven by your mother, sister Linda and cousin Jena.  You are now safe in God's hands.  Patti Brantigan Lawler
