Nice to have known you Lilian for the short time that I did. You were the best envelope stuffer the Museum ever had. - Posted by: Jim (Friend at the Electrical Museum) on: Oct 10, 2014

After my children started school, I started my career for the 2nd time at Manitoba Hydro. Lilian was my supervisor. She taught me, mentored me and was very patient and kind through the process. Lilian was fun, had a great sense of humour and talked about Herman all the time. I was blessed to know Lilian. Wishing her family fond memories and peace knowing her and Herman are together again! Thinking of you all. - Posted by: Wendy Krupnik (Former co-worker) on: Oct 04, 2014
