Lillian was such a precious person who dearly loved the Lord. We would often pick her up for church at her apartment on the way to North Akron Apostolic Church. She was extremely gracious and kind. What a lovely example of a godly woman she was. I enjoyed talking with her on the phone when she moved to Phoenix. She is in the presence of her Lord and Savior and is praising God in person.
