Lily loved many things. She loved talking on the phone, listening to the scanner, and Christmas—her favorite time of the year. She also loved her family and was especially proud of Josh. Cooking was a passion of hers and was wonderful in the kitchen. She enjoyed planning holiday dinners, attending the family Easter at the CC Camp, and playing games at Christmas. She always made sure everyone had a gift! Lily will be missed by all who knew and loved her.
