I am saddened to hear about Aunt Lillian. Sincerest condolences to Suzanne, Debbie, Tony, relatives and friends. This is Ira Tsujii, cousin of Suzanne, Debbie and Tony.  I have only visited with Aunt Lillian several times in the 60’s and 70’s when my family was visiting my mother’s relatives in Jamaica.  (My mother Daisy was Uncle’s Pat’s sister).  I do remember Auntie making me laugh and hearing her laugh.  At other times, Auntie scared me (probably because I was so young).  Aunt Lillian would make me eat with the fork in my left hand at the table.  I had a very difficult time with this feat, I could barely manage the fork in my right hand.  Meals would take me a very long time to complete therefore, I made an alternative plan to feed their miniature poodle Min-toy by throwing him food under the table.  That dog would not eat the food I dropped onto the ground.  Apparently that crazy dog would only eat from a fork if fed by Uncle Pat.  I spoke with my mom about the difficult silverware etiquette and my mother told me to switch hands when Aunt Lillian was not looking.  Problem solved!  Over the last 40 years, I do find myself eating with my fork in my left hand and I have always thought of Aunt Lillian.  R.I.P. Auntie, I have and will always remember you!  With Love, Ira

Our deepest condolences on dear Lillian's passing. She will always be fondly remembered.   She was always full of humor and brought a smile.  We got each other, maybe because she was my Birthday twin and we wore the same shoe size!  She loved my cakes but wasn't supposed to eat them.  She always said remember to send her a piece.  I had a piece ready to send to her.  Her pepper sauce has been a staple in our house for at least 16 years. We rationed it out, photo attached.  I once heard her tell someone she'd have to kill them if she told them her pepper recipe.    She made some scrumptious chinese dishes she would bring to mom for lunch sometimes.   I guess we spoke about food a lot. What a treasure she was.  With love, Gillian and Drew
