"So sorry to hear the news of Lily's passing. She had a great, fun-loving personality and liked to tease us with her lists of riddles, brain teasers and logic puzzles. She always kept the candy dish stocked for everyone to enjoy. She will be sorely missed at D-Mac."

"Sad to hear of Lilys passing. I worked with Lily at INA for many years and she rode to work with me from Cumming to Atlanta until I moved to Atlanta. I enjoyed her company and we became good friends."
