A Skinner baby girl, still born 1974. Together 56 years, in which they never spent a day apart. They shared a love and passion for their family, hard work, dirt track racing, hunting, collecting antiques and old trucks. They loved only each other, a love that was passed to the entire family, a love that stood the test of time, a love that should be honored, cherished and remembered always. They were proud of the family they built. On September 22nd 2015 Raymond was called home long before any of us were ready. Our family foundation was shattered. Lillian's next six years were lonely missing the love of her life everyday but she kept strong for the family. She passed away peacefully July 30th 2021 at their home.
They are now in heaven together.
