Our sincerest condolences to the Ramsay family. Lillian will be very much missed by my mom and I and our family. We always enjoyed phone calls with Aunt Lil and seeing her on her visits to Victoria. She always took the time to stay in touch with my mom and I. She was a wonderful sister and Aunt. She was kind, thoughtful and had a lovely laugh and sense of humour. She was a woman of strength and integrity and yes.... she was a very classy lady too! We will always keep her in our hearts and memories.

I am so sorry that I could not attend the service for Auntie Lil. Auntie was always special to me. My most recent memories of her was that she was always there for mom. Her constant attention and assistance with mom was so appreciated. I will miss her. After mom died we tried to get Auntie to come out for lunch but things were changing for her. I am so thankful to her. I am sorry for your loss. - Posted by: Brian and Elaine Van Ryckeghem (Nephew) on: Aug 10, 2018

Your mom was a good customer at the flower shop that I worked at. She had such lovely taste when choosing her flowers and she was a very thoughtful person, sending flowers to family and friends for all occasions. I will remember her as a real classy lady, always immaculately dressed and her hair and makeup perfect. She was so proud of her family. Rest in peace Lil - Posted by: Kim (Friend) on: Aug 09, 2018
