We were so sorry to hear of Lil’s passing. She was such a wonderful lady and we totally enjoyed her visits North to the Soo. Her baking was enjoyed at many a family dinner, and one summer, Lil’s strawberry jam was our go to picnic lunch. She was such a loving person who left fond memories in her trail. Thinking of all the extended Longman family at this sad time.

Bob and Sandy, Howard and Sandra, Ken and families. So very sorry to hear of your loss. A death in the family is devastating at any time but more so at this time. It is very different as you cannot share the hugs and spend the time grieving with other family members and friends because of the social distancing. Know that we have you all in our thoughts and prayers.
Hugs,
Paul and Jan

So sorry to read about Lillian’s passing. I was fortunate enough to have known Lillian when I was young and she lived on Butler Street. I was then able to have had the pleasure of enjoying many laughs and conversations with Lillian when I worked at Prince George. She loved her candies, baked goods and chocolates. She was always sharing stories of her beautiful family. Lillian always made me smile. She had a way of making you feel like you were part of her family, and when listening to all the stories, you felt like you knew the entire family.
My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. She was loved by many and she loved you all so much-she will be missed
Bev and Shawn Dayman and family
Gary Johnson
