Condolences
The family of Lillian E. Hallman has received the following condolences.
I worked with Lil at the Broadway Cafe when I was a teenager along with my brother Zane and sister Wanda. She was a nice lady and must have lived a long full life. My sympathy for her family. Chris
Gary, Jill & family-
I wanted to extend my condolences. I am blessed to call you family & I hold you all up in love & prayer.
Dear Jill, Gary and Family,
We were so sorry to read of your mom's death. Gary reads the Post Bulletin online and came across her obituary this week. Unfortunately we will not be able to attend the memorial service tomorrow due to previous commitments in Aitkin. You will most certainly be in our thoughts and prayers as you say goodbye.. and in the days and months that lie ahead as you go through the mourning process. Been there...done that!
I know we do not stay in touch, but don't think for a single minute that we don't ever think about you or remember the "old days" or the trip to your wedding in a snow storm.
Peace,
Love from Two OLD friends...If you are ever in our area of MN, please look us up.
And so, another chapter closes. What an interesting life Lil had--the motel, the cafe, etc. She met a lot of people over the years--and 95 years is a lot of years! Our thoughts & prayers are with you as you turn the pages and begin a new chapter, now.
Two Hoovers, down Iowa-way
Gary,
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Your mom was a very special person and will be missed.
With sympathy,
Gary Fritzmeier
Gary and Jill,
Please accept our deepest sympathy. We are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Tony, Kate & Joe
