Lillian's company was always delightful and often surprising. She graciously mentored me in my BCN certifications and shared her tricks, secrets and the beauty of her home. I have fond memories of her and Jay at my Picnic Table rehashing, the 'old days'. She is missed.
Lilian and I met in graduate school, and I considered her a good friend even after I moved out of the area. We studied for all sorts of exams and the boards together. One of my favorite memories of her was when we helped transfer horses from Lake Almanor to Redding, riding 103 miles, sometimes in the rain. We made it, but were exhausted, sore, but very proud of ourselves. She was a real trooper.
I first met Lilian at a NAMI Providers class. Lilian spoke with me at the end of the class and I loved her immediately. From that moment on, I would look for her...feeling a little better just knowing she was there. I had the great joy of walking with her and spending the day with her during a NAMI Walk one year. Lilian had the most beautiful way about her. I think she could soothe the tears of angels. I am deeply grateful to have met such a gracious, gentle loving spirit..Farewell lovely lady, I miss you in our World...
Lilian was a member of our neighborhood garden group for many years where she shared her laugh, her earnest questions, her lovely yard, and her always entertaining chickens. She is deeply missed.
I was glad I got the chance to meet Lilian. What an adventurous, rich and dedicated life she lived!
