Larry, My deepest condolences to you. May care and love of those around you, provide comfort and peace. Our hearts will soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together, as we celebrate a life well lived. We lost a great woman, but the universe received a new, beautiful star. Lillian’s smile was contagious! She brightened our Hy-Vee Aisles on Stacy Lane. I will surely miss the presence of a truly warm hearted, bright eyed, and kind person. With blessings and prayers, Amy T. Hy-Vee
