Lillie always had a smile on her face. That is how I will always remember her. She had the heart and spirit of a child and was just a beautiful human being. Lillie was my cousin and she used to babysit me when I was smaller sometimes. She was always so kind to me. I will never forget her. However, I know she is in a better place now. May she forever rest in peace.
