  2. Dear Sandi, Lori and Lea,
    Your Mother and Grandmother was a very special lady and the Hourigan family was very fortunate to have her as a neighbor for so many years. We offer our deepest sympathy for the loss of this wonderful woman.
    Ken and Pat Hourigan

  3. My heartfelt condolence to the Family. I am so sorry for your loss. There are few experiences more difficult than losing a loved one in death. As you cherish the many memories of Miss Lillian, please reflect on the time when sickness…, death… and mourning will be no more. (Revelations 21:3,4) This is what our loving God Jehovah has promised and Jesus himself guaranteed the hope of seeing our loved ones again by means of the resurrection. (John 5:28,29; Acts 24:15; Isaiah 26:19) May God’s word bring you comfort during this difficult time and in the days ahead as we await the fulfillment of his promises.
