What a wonderful woman she was! I loved playing RACKO or RUMMYCUBE with her at Ewart and Arthur Meighan. She pretended she didn’t know ... but she did. I will miss her terribly. An inspiration on love and patience Lily was to me. Rest In Peace my friend. Your friend Cindy xo xo xo

Dear Don and Family,

I am sincerely sorry for your loss at the time of your Mom's passing. While we only had the privilege of knowing her through this final chapter of her life, the warmth of her presence was immediately and distinctively recognized by my Mom and, all of us.

She will be truly missed by so many.

With sympathy and support through this time,

Barbara, Heather, Wendy and Cathy Brooks

Rest in peace Lily! It was a pleasure knowing you and serving you in the bank! I will always treasure times we spent together especially having lunch at your beautiful apartment.

I treasured my Friday mornings working at Sunnybrook Hospital with Lil. She became a close friend, and I admired her humour and lovely manner. A true lady and I miss her often.
