I met your mother when I was 22 years old at the Adult Parole Authority where she was the office manager, my first job out of college. She took me under her wing, befriended, taught and protected me. Over the next four years she taught me life lessons I have carried with me and have lived by for over forty years. Some of my fondest memories were with your mother having long lunches in the Georgean Room in downtown O'Neil's. sometimes Wilson would join us too. In this life we cross paths with thousands of people but only a handful make lasting impressions...Lilian was one of those people for me. Every year on my birthday she would call me. She loved and was so proud of her kids and grandkids. She would update me on all your accomplishments and highlights. Goodbye sweet Lil. Thank you for loving me and being my friend. I'll miss you always..give Wilson a kiss for me. Your friend, The Big I
