  1. We have been away and didn’t know Lil had passed. I remember her driving all of our kids to school – she was like another Grandmother to them and we all loved her. Our sincerist sympathy.

  2. I was saddened to learn belatedly of Lillian’s passing. I was visiting Vern(Bud) the year that he passed when we were visiting the Evergreen Cementary in Blenheim when while passing by the various headstones, Bud remarked that there was Lillian. Sure enough she was there presumably placing flowers on her parents gravesite. We had a lengthy visit that afternoon. We are saddened by your loss.

    Rick and Nancy Henderson, Kemptville Ontario

  3. My Family and I wish to express our sincere sympathy. Lill was a fantastic Lady and will be missed by many, I am very proud to be able to call Lill a friend!

  4. It is with great sadness that I heard of Lil’s passing when we arrived home. I met Lil at TOPs 15 years ago and have been so blessed to spend every Tuesday night with her since then. Lil always had loving and kind words for us all. She brought us treats, not only for us but for our children and grandchildren as well. Lil would share her wisdom with us but always with genuine care and love for us. She loved to tell me stories about her great grandchildren and spending time with her family. When we worked at Park Blueberries, Lil made sure we got to see her and her family when they came inside for lunch. She was so proud of all her family and loved to share you with us.
    Jamilee, Sophie Barnes and her family send you hugs and will miss the stories of Jack, Jamison and Jaylen!
    I could go on for days as to how special Lil was to me, but in closing I will say that I will cry tears for Lil, but happy tears too as I know Lil will be in heaven, as happy as can be with “Hendie” as she fondly would say and she will be watching over us all. God bless you all, in this difficult time. Nanette, Sophie and Megan Barnes

  8. We were sad to hear of Lil’s passing. She was a very, very special lady that showed great kindness to hundreds of Brigden area kids that rode her bus. Every day she was there with a smile, doling out goodies for any occasion she could think of, and giving comfort when we had a tough day. It was as if we all had an extra grandma. Thanks for sharing her with us. We’ll be thinking of you.

  19. The Muller’s and of coarse Frank & I are so very sorry to hear of your huge loss. Lil was a very special lady to our family and will remain in our hearts forever. The memories and good times we have shared over the years remain priceless to us. Every year all of the Muller’s would look for Lil’s special Christmas goodies that she would bring over to Mom & Pops. I particularly loved her shortbread and those delicious crescent cookies. There are no words to truly express our loss she was a wonderful, kind, giving lady. I think of her and “Joanie” (her sister by heart) chuckling and giving heaven there kind of fun once again. Jim will simply be shaking his head at their antics and Chris will be “Oh Boy” I wonder what those two are up to this time. I hang onto this thought because it makes me smile. Just know that she was loved so very much by all of us. Leslie Vye.
