Strong, stubborn,loving,kind, compassionate with an infinite love of family both human and animal. She loved her horses. She loved her dogs. She even loved a grumpy hedgehog. God Bless you Lily.

Grateful to have had the opportunity to spend time with aunt Lillian when on our travels from Vancouver Island to visit family in Parry Sound . She gave the best hugs! Bob wants her to know he’s forgiven her for spanking him with a stick all the way home when he had toddled off to the salt docks when he was 2 - something he has always teased her about and together shared a laugh. She had a great sense of humor. Rest peacefully aunt Lillian
-Bob and Deb BrintI’m sorry for your loss.
-Lynn RaneyLillian was a very sweet lady and always had a beautiful smile for everyone. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.
With heartfelt sympathy

We will miss having Lillian come into the thrift store and hearing her many stories.
I will miss talking with her about her lighthouse collection, and other collectibles. Our sincere condolences to you Heather and family.
Oh Ms. Lillian ... it's been a month already and I still can't believe it!
Whether I needed a hug or a cuff upside the ear (even if you needed a stool to get up there to do it!), you were always there to help me along.
Please say "hi!" to my Granny while the two of you are out gallivanting!
