The Loss of a Dear Friend

Lil became a part of my family about 5 years ago when she met and fell in love with my grandfather. Words can not express how much she enriched our lives and how greatly she will be missed.

I've never met someone so full of life, who so defied stereotypes about age, and who was so genuinely filled with love for those around her.

I miss and love you, Lil. I'm so thankful to have known you.
