Lillian was a lovely, gracious and kind lady. My Dad, Bert, loved his cousin very much and I easily understand why he did. To all of Lillian’s family, please accept my deep sympathy in the passing of a dear member of our family.

I have many fond memories of Lillian and her sister Eunice Spettigue. My Aunt Louise Spettigue often visited Eunice when she visited the Bert Spettigue family while she was in London on holidays. I know how fond my Dad, my Mom (Beulah)and my Aunt Louise were of Lillian and her family. She was such a dear. Please accept my deepest sympathy. On the other hand my Dad, Mom, Aunt Lou and other members of the family will be thrilled to welcome her home.
Grandma Park was a very special lady. She always had a story to share and an infectious giggle to go along with it. She had a wonderfully positive outlook on life. I will remember her always.
Eunice, Bob, Don, Paul and families, I wish to express my deepest condolences on the loss of your sister and mother. I will always remember her as a very cheery, positive person with a lot of faith. She will be missed. Sandra Pusey (Shirley’s daughter), Gayle (Juanita’s daughter) and Dan Twan. 150 Mile House BC
