There are no words that can tell you how grateful we
were to Tillie for helping us care for my father. She was so good to him and to us. What a privilege to have known
her and to know that she rests in peace with Jesus Christ.

Tillie befriended me at the time of my mother Hazel
Adams death. My father, Kenneth and I, were moving here to Mechanicsburg. Tillie helped me pack all my mother's antique
china dishes. Tillie was a lovely lady, and she always had beautiful antiques to show at the various shows in our area.
