Dear Dennis,Denise and Kathy.

I knew your lovely mom and Dennis from Church. Lillian was so happy, and funny and ever so pleasant to talk to. She gave some crocheted throws to our Community of Caring Crafters and was always looking for things we could use for the homeless.

I will miss our little chats and miss Dennis our Church usher, but know Dennis will be well cared for.

I will pray for your family that all goes well. I will never forget her or Dennis and what they meant to our parish.

Mary Ann Maurer, St. Mary of Celle, Community of Caring Crafters

Dear Dennis, Kathy and Denise:
We just this a.m. found out about the passing of your mom. I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a very special person and I will always remember her as a beautiful and giving person. She always remembered every special event (birthdays, St. Nicolas Day, anniversaries. etc.) and I always knew when she had visited my mom because she brought yummy bread from the bakery.

Please know that you are in my thoughts and prayers. We are so grateful that she was a part of our lives.

Dear Dennis, Denise, Kathie and their families,

Your mother was such a lovely and loving person. She was my godmother and I loved her dearly even though our lives only touched once in awhile. I now have two moms watching over me and my dear ones from heaven above. Your mom was always on the ball and will always be special to me and and my family.

All of us truly will miss her but know she is now at peace after a wonderful life of always giving. Her job was done here on earth and the Lord now needs her by His Side.

God bless and keep us all under His special care.

Sincerly,

Bernadette Bockstahler, her godchild, and all my family...Pete, Peter, Jacqueline & John, Suzanne & Wally and grandchildren, Felicity, Anika, Natalia

Dear Dennis, Denise, Kathy and Families,

Please accept my heartfelt sympathies on the loss of your Mother. Lillian was my special friend for many years now, beginning with our tour of duty at Niko's Empress trips and after that, just being my good buddy.

She was such a giving, loving person who drew so many people as her extended family into her life. Her special rememberances to me and my family will never be forgotten. A birthday never passed without a phone call and a card, Christmas brought her bakery treats from Vosecky's with Saint Nicholas cookies for our grandchildren, and a mass card arrived in the mail when she knew we needed some special prayers our way.

I will miss her deeply and will keep her memory close in my heart as I always told her she was my "special" mother. She loved all of you dearly and I was fortunate she thought of me as a special person in her life.

May God bless her soul and give all of you His special peace.
