She was such a talented painter. When she lived in Philippi, I stopped many times to chat with her about her work. I enjoyed our visits, and loved her artwork. She was such a lovely, delightful lady. My sympathies to her loved ones.
So sorry to hear about Lillian's passing. I enjoyed stopping in at KLT Corner and talking to her when I would stop in for something! She was a beautiful lady! R. I. P. Lillian
