Dear John and MaryAnn,
We heard of Lil’s passing and wanted to let you all know that we thought she was one of the best hearted people we had ever met. She was a wonderful person to our 4 kids and they all knew her as Aunt Lil. We all miss her so much and had no idea she was ill. Please let us know that you received the planter that we had sent. John was permanently laid off from Austin Powder several weeks ago and we could not make it to the services. We think about you all and if you ever need anything please let us know.
God Bless
