I stand with you, Mike, and with all your family and friends in this time of loss, and I want to add my own condolences to those eloquent expressions written by those going before me here in the guest book. I am sorry that I learned of this sadness so late upon my return from Central America. I know I only met your mom once, but I remember her gracious kindness and her warmth and her smile. I am grateful I had at least that chance to meet her so long ago and to experience her vitality and enthusiasm. No one ever gets over the grief of losing someone so loved and so important in one’s life, but I pray that your mind and heart will one day turn only to remembrances of all that made her so special to you and the good and wonderful moments you had together. She will be in my intentions at the next Mass I celebrate all the while knowing she is already enfolded in eternal love. Mike, you are one of my most favorite friends in all the world, and I send much love to you and to all your many friends and family.

Lilia was quite a woman. I will never forget when I first met her on my visit to Ayer with Mike in 1985. She was so kind and welcoming to me. Her passion for living was infectious. And, those Margaritas by the blender full were wonderful. May she rest in peace.

When I was a child there was so many children in my family it was hard to get that special relationship. As I growup and the other kids move on then we got to know one another. We grew closer when she live at the club house and I work in Ayer. I would go over her house every day. On the weekends we would shop 900am until 900pm it was good times but expensive.
Then she moved to Florida and I would only visit once a year, and I miss her so much. When we went to Florida we had the best of times, for the short amount of time I spent there and I miss her so.
Then it happen and she had an a major stroke and I miss her so. Then she move to Virginia to my younger sister Dottie’s house, so Dottie could care for her. And I miss her so. Now she could hardly talk I could not understand her on the phone she had to stay in bed. I when down couple times a year and visit . And I miss her so much , she would tell me she loved me.
Then she died and was returned home and I will go and plant her plants at her grave. I will always love and miss her dearly. xoxo cookie

Grandma was an extordinary woman and it would take forever to try to describe her, so I’ll just share a few memories, and pieces of my heart in regards to her. Grandmother was the strongest woman I have ever had the privilage of knowing. She had the absolute biggest heart. I lived with her a few times in my life and in those times she taught me alot. She was about hard work, doing things right, and did her very best to pass that belief on to us. We used to play cards all day long when I was a kid. We all went to shaddy point with her, and created many very plesant memories. When I lived in Florida with her, we went to church every Sunday, to yard sales, shopping, and English classes twice a week. She was always there for me no matter what. Grandma and I were very close and I will always love and cherish the time we had together. She will truly be missed.

My heartfelt greetings and sincere condolences to Mike Hayes and family in the passing of Lilly. I truly do have some fond memories of her out on the lake fishing, wearing her big floppy hat, and her excitement when any one caught a beautiful black drum, {Mike’s favorite} or red snapper. Then we would take them back to Mike’s beautiful hacienda with the 243 feet of rip/rap seawall surrounding his property, and barbeque them up. To Lillies’ amazement, she could not believe that I just didn’t care to eat the fish, but sure did enjoy the thrill of catching them. Lilly, may the Lord welcome you into His loving arms forever. God bless the entire family and comfort you all. Sincerely Brian Darwin

My heart aches for your family and I pray that God gives you strength during this difficult time. Although I was never able to know Lilia on a personal level, it was clear to see that she a woman with a beauty that time never seemed to have touched. Her ability to raise a large family all while running a business speaks volumes about her level of strength, drive and determination. I was fortunate enough to have a few fond memories of Lilia shared with me over the years and am amazed at the amount of wisdom and foresight she carried and passed down to her children. She had a long and fulfilling life and will be greatly missed by many. May she forever rest in peace and paradise.
Love and prayers,
Cheri
