    Don't Mourn for me? Please don't mourn for me I'm still here, though you don't see I'm right here by your side each night and day And within your heart I long to stay My body is gone but I'm always near I'm everything you feel, see or hear My spirit is free, but I'll never depart As long as you keep me alive in your heart I'll never wander out of your sight I'm the brightest star on a Summer night I'll never be beyond your reach I'm warm, moist sand when you're at the beach I'm the colorful leaves when Fall comes around And the pure white snow that blankets the ground I'm the beautiful flowers of which you're so fond The clear cool water in a quiet pond I'm the first bright blossom you'll see in the Spring The first warm raindrop April will bring I'm the first ray of light when the sun starts to shine And the face you see in the moon is mine When you start thinking there's no one to love you You can talk to me through the Lord above you I'll whisper my answer through the leaves on the trees And you'll feel my presence in the soft Summer breeze I'm the hot salty tears that flow when you weep And the beautiful dreams that come when you sleep I'm the smile you see on a baby's face Just look for me, I'll be everyplace!

    Lillian thank you for your kindness and always making me feel welcomed in your home. I never would have imagined God would take you from us so soon. My heart goes out to the family. I am so very sorry for your loss. Your mother was amazing, funny, and loved you all so very much. I walk in the house and expect to hear her voice. Lillian, you will be in our hearts and thoughts always.

    I still cannot believe Lillian is not with us anymore. She was a good old friend and I will miss her humor. I know she was very close to her family as if she were the sun and they were the satellites. My heart goes out to all.
