She sends her heartfelt condolences! Austin and Julia I will see you soon!

    Was shocked to hear of major Lillian’s passing, my first year of training college was her second, we were like sisters, her nickname for me was mousey, always up for a laugh! But always there to share about the lord ! A true disciple! In later years, Lillian dedicated my twin granddaughters at St. John’s west! My condolences to the family, especially Julia, whom I had the privilege of working with for a couple of years, hold on to the memories until you meet again!

    I met Lillian when stationed in Griquet 40+ years ago. Since then lost track of her, but never forgot her infectious laugh or sense of humour and her desire to serve the Lord. Sorry for your loss. May you sense Gods strength and comfort during this time.
