Lillian Antoinette Riola

Lillian Antoinette Riola, age 40, passed away on Saturday, July 12, 2014. Lillian was born on June 13, 1974 in Brooklyn, New York to Franco Riola and Cathy Tibaudo. Lillian moved to Florida in the mid 1980's. She loved to be around animals, helping homeless animals as often as she could. She was also a manager for a Veterinarian Clinic in North Carolina. She is most known for her loving personality and how she seemed to always make everyone around her smile.

Lillian is survived by her beloved sons, Kyle York and Logan Criswell; her loving mother, Cathy Cardwell; father, Frank Riola; grandparents, Gemma Tibaudo and the late Vincent Tibaudo and numerous loving aunts, uncles and cousins.

Lillian most often mentioned how she loved butterflies, I think a poem about a butterfly might just give us an idea of how she might like us to remember her.

Hoping to catch your eye, Circling around you, oh my , Butterfly, butterfly, come into the light, Oh, what a beautiful sight, Flying so gracefully Into the sky the butterfly, Trying to catch a butterfly Fly, fly, fly, butterfly. There she sets upon the mums I'm having so much fun

Here's another on the sill You're standing so still You go to touch her. There she goes, the butterfly I hear a tapping on the window It's the butterfly, fly, fly, fly There she goes into the sky Flying so high, the butterfly I'll see you another day Butterfly, butterfly, fly away.

Lillian wil be greatly missed by all and her memory will live in all of us from this day forward.
