It has been about a year since I last saw Lily. My only contact with her was at Full Moon Circles. I remember that she worked at Menards. From a guy point of view, any woman that worked at lumber yard and do it yourself store is my kind of woman and therefor very memorable. ;-) She was soft spoken and easy to talk to. I remember we talked about death and the pagan view of the afterlife. That was just about when the Circle Cemetery was getting going, talk of death was de rigueur.. She said she didn’t know where we go after death, but thinks there is a big infinite life force that we all belong to. In that case, there is a little bit of Lily in me as I remember her and our conversation. Perhaps that is her immortality, what little part I can see.

Lily - your serine, joyful energy was a blessing to every circle and festival I had the pleasure of attending with you. As a newcomer to the community you made me not only feel welcome but at home. Your courage in the face of your illness was truly marvelous, and I just wish I'd had more time to learn from you. I wish you blessings and joy as you pass on into the next life, and peace and healing to those you love and who love you. -Florence

~*~ Sending my deepest condolences to Lily's loved ones. I've attended circles and classes with Lily. "Gentle" seems to describe her perfectly. She was always so very kind. Wishing her a smooth transition, and comfort for those she leaves behind now. ~Brightest blessings, Aedrien

Your kind expressions of sympathy and memories of Lily fill me with a deep appreciation for the friendship she found in the Circle Sanctuary Community. She often spoke of the celebrations she shared with you, and it was clear to me that she had found her spiritual home. Thank you.

It was an honor to spend time with you Lily, whether we were in ritual at Circle or planting prairie at Stewart. You were one of the most peaceful yet fiery and courageous people I have known. May your spirit find a new place, free of pain. I will see you in the blooming flowers you helped to plant in Stewart. Continue on your good journeys. I will miss you here!

I was pleased to know Lily and her beloved Toyota for several years. She was one of my first customers when I started my business. I enjoyed many conversations with her as I tinkered on her car. She was a hoot and will be missed. I hope you have found peace in your new journey Lily...and dont worry...I will keep your ol' girl running as smooth as ever for your old friends and new owners! Anytime I see a little red Toyota Tercel I will always think of you Lily!
