-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Lillian was our dear friend and devoted neighbor for all the years she lived in Hampton. After she married Al, she moved just ‘down the road a bit’ but never too far away for a visit or phone call. I have so many wonderful memories of times spent with Lillian…the early years when her Mom was still with her and her children were young, the years when we just happened to work for the same companies, the fun times on the job and after hours… time spent sitting in her living room just talking and laughing on Skillman Street, and John Street, in the later years….her wonderful laugh and her positive attitude in face of all her adversities. It was always a pleasure to be in Lillian's company. Her incomparable spirit and faith was never ending. Her strength amazing. I shall miss her so very much, but knowing Lillian, she wouldn’t want us to be sad at her passing. She would want us to have faith, be strong and know that she has been relieved of her suffering and is with her Mom, Carol Ann and her beloved Bootsie. My sincere condolences to her ‘honey’ Al and the entire family and, as Lillian always ended her conversations, God Bless! Esther
