Lillie Mae was like a second mother to me. Always full of sunshine, smiling and a solution for every problem. She was my babysitter for years and the person I have, for 60 years, attributed to my addiction to saltine crackers with butter and on certain occasions - with cream cheese. I can honestly say Lille Mae never once made me feel anything but loved and cared for. The last time I saw her was in 2015. I had moved back into my childhood home on Grover temporarily. I saw her in her front yard and I grabbed my son and said "You have to meet my babysitter!". And she started talking with him like she'd known him her whole life.
It is safe to say that there will never, ever be another Lillie Mae on this earth. I honestly didn't know how rich I was at the time to have her as a part of my life. This truly is the end of an era for me & my brothers. I think she took a bit of me with her; but then she left a handprint on my heart. Thank you Lillie Mae, I love you.
