Ms. Lillian loved to sing gospel all of her life,
Spending 69 years with her husband as a devoted wife.
The sweetest woman in her little town, and loved by all so much,
She would bake hundreds of the best tasting fruitcakes, for her friends at Christmas, and she’d load them down with all kind of goodies and such.
Ms. Lillian spent over 30 years working as a postal employee, for she was very devoted.
She then wrote for the local newspaper to let everyone know what was going on, it should be noted.
But many folks do not know that years ago, she personally knew Tom Landry, and all the Dallas Cowboys,
However, to all, she was just Lillian; but her home was special for it was always filled with friends, family, laughter, and all kinds of beautiful noise.
Ms. Lillian always had a garden that was so organized, and always so neat,
Her son, Gary, would always say that his Mom could plant cheerios and grow donuts, which he said really made him feel special, and complete.
Besides her husband, and her son, Ms. Lillian had three grandsons that she adored.
They surely were her true calling, the apples of her eye; some say, her greatest reward.
One of Ms. Lillian’s finest attributes was her willingness to reach out to people in need.
So compassionate about the struggles and illnesses of others that she had to succeed
In helping her fellow man whenever she could.
For it was always her positive and optimistic outlook that saw the good in everyone, and that you know, she really understood.
Ms. Lillian’s favorite time of year was the Yuletide, for this was when she would set out her large, yet beautiful Christmas light display.
When you rode by their house, folks would swear they really heard Santa’s bells from his sleigh.
But above all that’s been written, she was a very loving individual, and was quite the one of a kind.
Ms. Lillian will be sorely missed, and will surely be remembered truly as a Jewell; you surely could say, one of Quinlan’s finest of wines.
