My condolences to Tilly's family. I met Tilly in the 1980's through a close friend of mine, Elizabeth (Sandye) McLendon and was endeared to Tilly immediately! What an amazing human-being! I admired her spunk, soul, and love for others! I especially enjoyed hearing her sing and I loved dancing to her powerful, soulful voice. She made me laugh when she would say :work it girl" whenever I was out on the dance floor! I saw her last at Big John's inCuba, NY about 1 1/2 yrs. ago during one of her gigs. We spent the evening together catching up on old times and I felt so blessed to have that one on one time together. She was in a lot of pain that night but, when she came to the mic to sing her love of song carried her through each set. I admired her courageous battle with cancer and know she is resting in peace with no more pain and suffering. The Heavens have been blessed with a beautiful soul and voice! I know you will "work it girl" in Heaven! I will miss you Tilly! Love, Laurie Buzzard
