Phyllis McKay an all of the Lindberg/McKay families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time with the passing of Lillian. Lillian was a dear childhood friend of my Dads. They were only 10 days apart in age and were born an raised in the same community up in the hills. Lillian’s name was mentioned often with the many childhood stories of my dad.Phyllis, You too are another class mate that we have become close friends with in the past several years. You too are indeed a true friend.Gary & Bernadette Stokes
