We wish to express our sincere sympathies to you for your great loss! We didn't know Lil for long and our contact with her was limited, but we were privileged to witness what a kind, generous and loving person she was! When we needed a wheelchair when Larry broke his ankle 11 months ago, she immediately offered hers! It was a great gift to us, and we'll always remember her thoughtfulness and willingness to serve! May God comfort and sustain you all through this difficult time. Prayers and blessing to you, David and your family, Larry and Gladys Carr

My Memories of Lillian
My memories of Lillian go back quite a ways; to the days of babysitting her children. I remember that one of the children in particular was upset at Mom leaving, so it was the promise the Oma and Opa would be coming by to visit that gave them some reassurance that Mom could leave. It may have been Johnny, but it has been a while now and my memory is not as good as it used to be! I learned that night what Oma and Opa meant to Lillian's children and how much they loved their Mother.
The other memory is of Lillian's association with music and the musicals that she conducted at Central. It is great that some of them have been posted to youtube because for several years I lived in Hamilton and my own church Bethel put on their own musicals at Christmas and Easter, so I was not always able to see them, so I shall enjoy them now. I also know how much my Dad enjoyed playing in the orchestra, under Lillian's leadership.
My heart goes out to you all who are grieving; her husband David, her children and their spouses and all her grandchildren who will miss their Nana and to her siblings Mary and Rudy and we will be continuing to pray for you in the coming days.
"To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord." This is a verse that resonates with me and I hope it brings a bit of encouragement to all who are grieving for Lillian at this time. Our deepest sympathies.

Dave & family
Sorry for your loss. Lil put up a good fight and she has won. She was a special lady. I have so many good memories of her. Piano lessons, plays, choir for many years and many trips with Dave & Lil. She was a very gracious and talented person. Whatever she put her hand to she could accomplish. Also she shone with the love of Jesus. I loved her as a special friend. Her testimony & life memories will live on in our hearts. My prayers are with you and your family.
Love Jeanette

Lil was truly an amazing and wonderful woman. She had movie quality productions throughout her career as a music director at Central, and those productions were seen by thousands of people. She has touched many lives. She liked to work with ordinary people, and encouraged people to use their talents regardless of age. I would like to thank Lil for all her work and for believing in me. Lil, may you now rest in the presence of Jesus. We will all miss you dearly.

Dear Dave,Stephanie,and all Lil's children and grandchildren: I remember Lil as a woman of steel. Like Margaret Thatcher that iron lady, Lil knew what was important and did not waver in her commitments, to her Lord, her family, and her goals. She kept Dave organized, and with her significant creative skills, enabled so much to happen and work and church. Blessings to you all as you grieve.

Clive and I are deeply saddened by your loss but we know that Lil is totally healed and with the Lord now. She was an amazing person and such wonderful woman of God and was responsible for so many souls through her gift in music. We were all blessed to have had her in our lives and she will be greatly missed. I will remember with great fondness our days when we laughed and sang and blessed others with her musicals! God Bless, love and prayers Clive and Debbie Wilkins
