    Oh Momma Lillile, I had the priviledge to meet you as your home health nurse 7 years ago. You and I had many a good conversation about the crazy world, about men, about families, and you had such wisdom. You took me in as your own. You went through many trials and heartbreaks in your own life, yet you loved us all like your very own. You will be missed, but you are in glory and you are our own angel now. Love ya Lillie B!
