Aunt Lil, as she has been called by most people, was a wonderful and dear hearted person. She had spread her love and happiness to each and everyone who loved and cared for her as well. I am proud and blessed to carry my loving auntie's name Lillian, in which my father had named me after. She left us with so many good memories as her husband, our uncle Clint, had also left us with. She will now meet him and join her hands with his in heaven. May she rest in peace. Love you and miss you dearly with all my heart and soul. Forever your niece Lillian. - Posted by: Lillian Abas Imtiaz (niece) on: Dec 19, 2015
