Rita & family: I just heard about Aunt Lillian’s passing wish to extend my sympathy. She was a wonderful woman with a very kind heart. I am sure you will miss her very much. Love, Corrine
Rita, Kristen,
I am sorry to hear of your loss. I spoke to Aunty Lill when Henry passed away, but had not seen her for many years. As a young boy I remember her welcoming us into her house and preparing the most wonderful fish chowder. Gave me something to look forward to during the 4 hour car ride from NH to CT.
Wish you the best
Dave Dubiel
