Dearest Lillian (and family),
You and Lafayette were two of my favorite
people for an extended time. It was my pleasure
to help both of you over the years. I’m glad you’re
finally at rest together. Please watch over the rest
of us down here and send us a ray of sunshine which
we all will know is both of you. Rest in peace and
know you’ll be missed.
Sincerely,
Sue from Walgreens
