Our hearts go out to you. What an extraordinary life she led. Between her children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, nieces, nephews, extended family and friends, she was able to influence so many people for the better. I remember many summers coming to Virginia Beach and spending time with her doing her Krispy Kreme donut runs and playing with the kittens from the neighbors house. She had a wonderful sense of humor and was such a light to be around. Lillian was one of a kind and will be greatly missed.
Mrs. Jones was the sweetest person I have ever met. She watched me grow up in Pocahontas Village. My heart goes out to her family. May God bless all of you17 with love, warmth, and peacefulness always. RIP Mrs. Jones. I will never forget you. (My mom, Doris, sends her love and condolences as well.)
my sincere condolences to the family!!
