I found all this out only yesterday. I'm devastated. My friendship with Lilly was "on a break", as it were.  And break my heart she did. 

My thoughts and prayers go out to everyone who knew Lilly and misses her like I do.

I didn't meet Lilly until early 2017 and our friendship was among the most unlikely connections possible in this universe. And it was 100% Lilly who made it happen. She even got me to Katie's apartment for snacks one afternoon, a memory I'll always treasure. 

Lilly challenged me to see a different view of the universe. She course-corrected my life in ways that mattered. She did so with intentional purpose. And she did so on her terms. As you'd expect.

It's fair to say Lilly gave my life a path to fulfillment it had been missing, something I thanked her for regularly. More than ever, I'm convinced Lilly was my guardian angel. 

I only wish I could have helped her similarly while I had the chance.

I miss you Lilly Mae Eaton. I always will. 
I will think of our time together fondly. 
May you very much rest in peace.

I knew Lilly from many evenings with her at the shelter and just wanted to share a sweet memory I have of her...  One evening last winter Lilly noticed a small 3 drawer dresser outside of her room in the hallway and asked if she could push it in her room to play a spy/memory game from her childhood with the three drawers. She was SO excited when I said yes and we pushed it in for her to play with. The next time I was there, she asked again and I said, sure, her eyes lit up like I had given her a huge gift.  Something about her pure joy in this brought me great joy that she could still find happiness in little things in the midst of her obvious struggles and torment.  I am so sorry to hear of her passing. I will miss her. I am comforted that she is no longer struggling and is in God's hands. 

To my friends, Katie Eaton and son, John..I'm sorry for your loss of Lilly Mae. I didn't know her,  but I care.  Love you.

So sorry for your loss Sandra. Although I never met Lilly, I heard so much about her thru Lydia. My thoughts are with you and your family! 🙏

I didn’t know Lilly well, but in all my encounters with her she was always gracious and kind.  She demonstrated a great deal of knowledge which she readily and generously shared.  I think of her often and will miss her sweet presence.

I am so sorry to hear this. She was a beautiful lady with a very kind heart.  She will be missed by her many friends in Evergreen.

Lilly was my Little Girl. I loved her with all my heart. I will forever miss her. You can rest in peace now ,Lilly. I’ll never forget you, you’re my Angel now ❤️❤️❤️

Uncle Grant? built you a playhouse cabin. It was so cool, I remember us making mud pies and getting so dirty.  I was so envious of your intelligence you being younger than me and all.  I remember not being able to jump over the little trench by grandpa's house you and Matt jumped over. You never judged me for anything. Childhood memories are the ones I will cherish with you.  You were more like a little sister than a cousin to me back then. Spring break/ birthdays were fun. I love you little Shakira. You annoyed me with her music. Lol you're free now and hopefully another Guardian of mine. 

We will never forget the day you brought Lilly to help us cut down a tree and haul the wood up to the house to split. She was so much fun to have around, did more than her share of work with a smile on her face, and was so strong and beautiful. I know you are going to miss her terribly! God be with you in this difficult time. 

I am so sorry to hear of Lilly Maes passing. I have so many fond memories of her in her younger years. From spying on nudist at the nudest camp, to girl scounts and camp outs. She was an amazing friend. May she rest in piece.
