Our thoughts and prayers are with the Liller family. We are very sorry for you loss.
We are quite saddened to hear of Betty's passing. She has been a dear friend for many years. Frank had great respect for her contributions to the community and appreciated her help when he served as mayor. Both of us appreciate her kindness toward and love for our son, Travis, who felt like another of her grandsons. Our hearts go out to her good family who loved her so much. She will be missed by many who will long benefit from her legacy.
Lesa, John, Pam and David,
