I have known Lillie B. Perry most of my life. I have always considered her to be a kind person. She and my wife Kathy were close friends. Life will not be the same without Lillie . Our loss is Heaven’s gain. It has always been Mike and Lillie for so long, this loss will be an adjustment for me. Lillie is loved by many, I never heard an unkind word about her or spoken from her. She will be missed a great deal.
Beloved Lillie, our Family’s Sweet Lily, in Luke 22 we may find some solace in God’s promise: 26 If then ye are not able to do even that which is least, why are ye anxious concerning the rest? 27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; yet I say unto you, Even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. 28 But if God doth so clothe the grass in the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast into the oven; how much more shall he clothe you, O ye of little faith? 29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, and what ye shall drink, neither be ye of doubtful mind. 30 For all these things do the nations of the world seek after: but your Father knoweth that ye have need of these things. 31 Yet seek ye [d]his kingdom, and these things shall be added unto you. 32 Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.
I’m going to miss her. This world is dimmer without her in it. I’m sending prayers up for my Uncle Mike gor peace and comfort.
