Our heartfelt condolences and sympathy go out to you all.
I remember Aunt lil was always smiling and had a good hearty laugh. The best ham sandwiches loaded with butter and meat. I always looked forward to seeing you all at Christmas time, it was like a second family Christmas. I REALLY enjoyed listening to the stories my mum and Aunt Lil would tell of their training and the 'innocent" fun that they got upto.
We pray that the Lord is with you at this time.
All our love

Lily was a fun loving person and we will never forget the evenings with her and Danny at the Transfiguration spaghetti supper. Heaven always has room for another angel
