TODAY I LOST THE MOST PRECIOUS WOMAN IN MY LIFE, MY MOM. Her beauty was so deep , she left something special with every person she would meet. Wise, warm and embracing with a smile that would light up the room. I can't put into words how rewarded I was to be her daughter. Tomorrow we will see life so differently without her but so happy she is at peace. I love you Mom you are forever the light of my life.

From the day I met Terry, he told me about this wonderful woman; the only woman he put up on a pedestal. When I met you, I knew why he spoke so highly of you! I feel very fortunate to have had you in my life for the past 10yrs. Our long "candid" talks and your loving advice has made a huge difference in my life. Thank you Lillian for Terry... Thank you Lillian for YOU! XO Tina

To the Ekstam family. My prayers are with you. I had the joy of sitting in her company. We spent many hours speaking of "Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ". The many blessing God provides.

To Linda and family. My deepest sympathy for the loss of your mom. I know how special she was and how many people loved her. I’m sure my dad, Pete, and his two sisters, Louise and Rosemary, (Carl and Rose’s children) had a great time growing up with her in Rock Island. What a great legacy she has left.

Dear Grandmother, There was a light shining upon you, I will miss the true love that I could see shining in your eyes and your wonderful smile. Thank you for being my Grandmother and my Friend. True love never fails us. You helped me to understand the true meaning of our purpose here and with gentle nudges guided me in the proper direction. You did not judge when others did. True love never dies, I will love you for the rest of my life. Your love and your mothers love flows through me like a swelling river. The memories and lessons learned will never be forgotten, but delivered to my children and my Grandchildren. I love you!
