Dear Keith and Vickie, I know you are hurting. I am sending you my heartfelt condolences with losing your mom and finding peace. Thank you for always being there for her. You two were the best son and daughter she could ever had have. For me, Aunt Lillian was my angel on earth when I was growing up without a mom. I credit her and my cousin Keith for getting me through some rough times in my youth. Her house and her wonderful cats were my escape. Anytime day or night, when I came knocking at her door, she would welcome me with that beautiful smile wearing red lipstick and offer me a piece of cake. She was one of the most purest of souls with a gentle manner and was truly beautiful inside and out. She taught me many things about life. I remember the fun times with her and Keith just driving around Belleville laughing and talking. I thank God and am most thankful that her passing was swift and she did not suffer. Aunt Lillian will never leave my thoughts because the memories I have of her are in my heart and mind forever. May she Rest In Peace forever💕

Mrs. Mueller was our vegetable lady for many years. She grew the best veggies, would load them in her trunk, and sell them to my Mom, and other people, in Belleville. She was a very nice woman, and I have many fond memories of her. My condolences to her family. Cookie Faulbaum Brown
