Lillian, I noticed the last name while reading the paper and thought of you right away. I'm very sorry for the loss of your father, my deepest sympathies to you and your family. I still remember that beautiful girl with the beautiful writing who sat behind me in grade 6 and who I went through school with. My favorite verse in the the Bible is "to be absent from the body is to be with the Lord". Your dad is in good hands now and you will see him again, until then stay safe and God Bless. - Posted by: Ken Barnett (Schoolmate of Lillian) on: Nov 26, 2016
