Praying God will show you His love through caring friends, comforting memories, and moments of peace.Praying He will give you whatever your heart needs most right now. “I will not leave you comfortless. I will come to you.” John 14:18. Marianne Hofland
My heart is heavy today for Lester, Brenda, Brian and the grandchildren as I know what an empty spot Lillian’s home-going will leave in their lives. But my heart rejoices with Lillian who knew our blessed Savior so well and is free of the limitations of the earthly body. One day we will be reunited with her and what a happy day that will be, for now we mourn her loss in our lives. Lillian was a friend who enriched the lives of everyone she met. She will be missed.
So sorry to hear of your loss. Lillian was a good aunt. I always admired her work with the children missions. We all so appreciated that Lillian and Lester would come to the 4th of July celebrations in North Dakota each year. Lillian was always willing to pitch in and warmly embraced us all as family. She was a great role model for graciousness and getting things done. You are in our prayers.
My sincere sympathies to Lester, Brenda, Brian, and the family for your loss. Lillian was a lovely woman, a good neighbor, and a warm & caring person. Her smile and laughter will be missed. Lester, take comfort in your family and know she is in God’s loving hands.
