Salem, OR Wednesday, January 27, 2010 Bob, Kevin, and Families: I'm so sorry to hear of Aunt Lillian's passing. Now she and Uncle Burnell are together again. I loved Aunt Lillian very much - she was one of the sweetest persons I know. She always seemed like an Aunt to me rather than a Great-Aunt - always full of fun and energy. And her smile....her smile would always make me feel special inside. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you during this time of grief. May God Bless. DarlaMarlene Stumpe Geiger
