To the Lane and Wickham families,
Thinking of you all at this sad time. What a strong and vital woman cousin Lillian was. I have a very significant memory etched in my mind of this stunning young cousin at the Stratford A&P show, probably in1964. Her horse was tied to Uncle Sandy's truck in front of the loose boxes at the showgrounds. She let me pat her horse and then beyond my wildest dreams she let me sit on him. And that completely sold me on horses. I'm sorry I can't be with you on Friday, but know that I will be thinking of you all.
Cousin Cynthia Manion (nee Wickham)

Condolences to the Lane & Wickham families.
Lillian stayed with us at Clandon Community for a time when she first came to Hamilton.
She certainly was a brave lady in the face of adversity.

I knew Lilian while she attended St Aidan's Church in Linden. She was a courageous person as she dealt with the stroke which she had when she was so young. I valued her friendship and remember her fondly. Our sympathy goes to Andrew and Christie and family.
