Dear Grandma Lilley, Thank you for all the fond memories at Wee Ones; I still remember making edible play dough! You are surely missed by every person’s life you touched. Thank you for living out Gods love for us kids at Wee Ones. Can’t wait to see you in heaven some day. You will wear so many crowns! Love always, David

I have fond memories of Grandma Lilley from Wee Ones. I found out recently Lilley was her last name. Which made me smile. I loved that she let us call her grandma. I made forever friends at daycare there. I also fondly remember grandpa Lilley and his great presence as a tall man always in denim overalls. I hope she lived a happy life. She left a mark on so many hearts. 💕

In 2009 when I had cancer my mother sent me a letter every day for months bless her heart miss her already

So sorry to the family. She was a wonderful Woman loved by so many. I have great memories of day care at wee ones. I vividly remember getting a heart shaped button stuck up my nose at wee ones. Miss Lilley took me into the kitchen set me on the counter and told me to blow Vicky as hard as you can. Sure enough button came out. She was kind, loving, and so nurturing to all us kids at daycare. I loved her so much.

I WOULD LIKE TO SAY HOW SORRY I AM FOR THE LOSS OF MISS LILLEY. HER AND HER FAMILY WERE VERY NICE AND RESPECTFUL PEOPLE. SHE WAS FRIENDS WITH MY PARENTS FOR A LONG TIME AND I PRAY FOR HER FAMILY IN THIS TIME OF NEED.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Mrs. Lilley was a dear friend of my parents. Her and her husband helped them early on in the friendship, and in later years my parents were able to return the kind gesture. She was also a great grandma to several cousins. She will be missed, but not forgotten.

May God Bless Mrs.Liiley. I sent my son to Wee Ones Daycare when he was quite young. I was a single mom at the time and was having a terrible time leaving him when I had to work. She always said I cried more than he did ! What a Blessing she was to me!! I know that she was a Blessing to many families. Rest her soul.

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
