With Sympathy for the loss of your sister. Sending prayers
Sending my deepest condolences. May God guide you in the difficult days ahead.
Our deepest condolences to the Herrera – Cappadona families. I cannot believe such a beautiful person was taken away. I grew up with Herrera family in the Heights – we were neighbors but we were also like family. I still remember Lily in her Mt. St. Ursula uniform. You don’t know the grief this has caused me and my mother, Nidia.
Goodnight, sweet princess, and may flights of angels lead you to your rest.

¡Pero, niña! Adiós, amiga. Siempre te llevaré en mi corazón. Hasta que nos volvamos a ver ….p
Sorry to hear about the passing of your loved one. Please take comfort in Jesus' promise at John 5:28 29.
I remember when I was about 9 yrs old with my brother Phillip. Bobby and Lilly took us to a park nearby in jersey to play baseball. We had sooo much fun that every time we seen them again we would beg them to take us back to that place. One thing that was so memorable about it is that it was most likely the first and last time Phillip played baseball again. Hahaha jk. Love you Lilly I will always keep that memory with forever.
So sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my prayers.
Lily loved to lay out and get sun. I remember one summer when she came to Florida with Bernice, she said, “Maria I can’t go back up north without a tan, I have to look like I went to the beach!!” She would come home burnt!! She was soft spoken and genuine!! My heart is sad. The whole family is in my prayers. With Love, Maria (Anthony & Ani Rodriguez’s Mom)
We are sending our heartfelt thoughts and prayers to you all at this time. Lily
will always be in our hearts and memories.
May the Lord's strength be with you and may he give your his comfort and peace.
Our Love,
Christine, Peter, Benjamin & Christopher Kramer

My heart aches at the news of Lilly’s passing. I’ll always remember her beautiful smile and how sweet she was to us when we were kids. I’m grateful I knew her. Love and peace to her family. Elba

We are saddened to hear of Lily's passing. Our memories of her are of a sweet and funny young woman. Love, thoughts and prayers to the entire family.
Elix’s family: I'm so sorry for your loss. I went through a similar situation and I was very helped by the hope that I found in the Bible in John 5: 28, which says, "Do not amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I am sending you a link with more information on this hope.
