So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

I am the grandson of Ruby, Lillian's sister... Aunt Lillian is one of the most loving and generous people I have had the pleasure of knowing. She absolutely demonstated her love of God and lived her faith in such an open and genuine manner that there is no question she's a child of the King. Aunt Lillian was a blessing to all who knew her. What an awsome reunion is going on heaven as she's been called home. Aunt Lillian will truely be missed by those she's left behind. But how great it is to know that one day too, we will join that reunion celebration. In fond and loving memory - we miss you Aunt Lillian!!
