She provided loving care to our father during his illness, and, prior to that, was helpful in caring for her grandchildren while we worked. Lillian loved preparing huge Sunday meals; her homemade cakes were the best. During her illness, she was a true example of faith, patience, and strength. Our mother was deeply loved and will be sorrowfully missed.

Dauphine; and five sisters, Estelle Boyer, Yolinde Landry, Bertha Savoy, Yola Dejean, and Belzire Dauphine.
