Our thoughts and prayers are with the family in this time of need. We will miss you Auntie Madeline.
Jo-Ann: The deepest of sympathies in the loss of your mom, “Lily”. I know how much you loved her and she of you. You will see her again as we end our journey here on earth; she’s with Nick, probably yelling at him, but with him none the less!!
I have so many fond memories from my childhood with my Aunt Lilly and Uncle Nick. We spent so much time at their home where we were always welcomed. I always felt she and my mom had a special bond with each other. I’m sad that she is gone but I loved her dearly and will always think of her. I offer my deepest condolences to her family especially to my cousin JoAnn who is an exemplary daughter and care giver.
