What a lady an inspiration for sure. She hosted a low country boil at the reunion in 2002. She danced all evening with my son, 3 at the time. He was the only one that could keep up with her. I know you will miss her but how lucky you were to have her so long. Prayers for the family.

I have many wonderful memories of cousin Lillian at our family reunions in Flagler Beach and her hosting on Tybee Island. She was the most hospitable and fun person I've known. The family will miss her deeply.

Lillian was such a jovial, energetic spirit. She always made family gatherings more enjoyable because of her great sense of fun! And she was quite clever, too. My parents told me that our dear friend John Langford, who taught all of his adult life, once described Lillian as brilliant and vowed she was the brightest student ever to walk into one of his classrooms. (Mr. Langford taught her history at Savannah High.) Much love to all closest to Lillian... She will be missed by many.

It was a joy, honor and delight to know Miss Lillian. Our trip to Scotland, Ireland, and Wales with her was a once in a lifetime amazing event. She was always full of optimism and zest for life. We are grateful she considered us friends. Our condolences to Miss Marie, brother Phillip, and all the rest of her family and friends. For such a petite lady, she sure had a huge heart and spirit.

To have known Lillian was to know someone so full of life. Elaine and I often speak of our trip to Savannah and the wonderful time we spent with Marie and Lillian. The one thing that is always remembered is Lillian saying "Life Is Good". She will be missed but always remembered.
