"I am sorry that I couldn't make the funeral. We have been missing Lillian calling in to the show on Sundays and putting in birthday requests for all her family and early on requesting Langner Sister music and then towards the last, she would always request Waltz Across Texas as her favorite. That is the sad part of getting to know so many nice folks, when the leave us and pass. She has been missed by us for sometime now and of course will be missed always. We will remember her in our thoughts and prayers. Your friends, The Retkas"
