Miss Lillian was a true lady. I enjoyed talking to her about gardening, cooking (squirrel & dumplings!), family, and faith. I remember taking her some squirrel several times during her last years at home so she could make Bro. Bob some dumplings. She and Bro. Bob were both very dear to me and had a huge impact on my life (as well as so many others). Prayers for all of the family.

To the McCarty Family.
I am so sorry for your loss. I’ve known her for many years. You all were very blessed to have such a wonderful mother and daddy. They were both precious, loving people. The best thing was they both loved Jesus and they loved y’all. Prayers for the family as you go through this time.
