Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.
Condolences and prayers for comfort to the Tilson family.
To the Family of a beautiful, Christian, Lady that loved Her God and Her Family.
It was such a joy to be in her company, and her Ernest. When I saw them together I would think they were on a date!
Such beautiful memories.
God Bless you and Your Family at this time of sorrow.
She will be missed.
She was so precious to us. And we loved her dearly.
Loved her dearly a precious friend for many years
David and family, we are sorry for your loss! She was such a sweet lady, and will be missed by many! She is in a much better place with the other angels ! LOVE and 🙏🙏
Lillian worked faithfully with my dad, Roger James, for so many years and was always a bright spot in the office. I had the pleasure of working with her over a couple of summers when I was in high school. No matter what was going on, she was patient, kind, and loving, and EVERYONE loved Lillian. She was so caring of others and was a wonderful addition to my dad’s team. I know you she will be missed, but there is no doubt she is in Heaven with her Savior and her beloved Ernest!
My deepest sympathy goes out to you and your family on the passing of your mother. She was an amazing woman. May happy memories carry you through this sorrowful time.
Love and Prayers,
Dixie
