Lily is Sandy's 91 year old mother. Ninety-one years old, you're probably thinking, that's ancient. Let me tell you a little bit about Lily. She worked through World War II, married her childhood sweetheart until he passed away after 75 years of marriage, and is undeniably the most radiantly beautiful woman I have ever known.
If you want a little perspective, make friends with a 90 year old human. If you want to learn a little about life, understand simplicity and know love, make friends with a 90 year old woman named Lily.
Could you tell me when exactly they were married, where they lived, their exact birthdates and full names by birth and his exact date of death, please?
