Aline (Jackson) Hillen 1926-2007. Lolli's great grandmother (Zach's maternal grandmother) passed away on monday, October 1, 2007. Lolli attended the viewing on Wednesday, October 3. She and Lauren stayed from 3-5 and Lolli slept the whole time. It was the first (and last) time Lolli ever got to "meet" her Great Grandma Hillen.
The funeral was held on Thursday, October 4. Lauren and Lolli attended but sat in the back near the exit. Lolli got hungry midway through the ceremony and so she and Lauren hung out in the lobby with Lolli's uncle Paul and cousin Paige. Lolli got to hear Zach give a wonderful reading about her Great Grandma Hillen.
Towards the end of the service, Lolli started demanding to be fed so she and Lauren went and sat in the car to breastfeed. It was very awkward for Lauren because the police escorts were walking around and then all of the other funeral attendees came out to their cars. Luckily Lauren's car has tinted windows!
Lolli was still hungry when they arrived at the cemetary so she and Lauren stayed in the car and fed during the burial. All in all, though, Lolli did very well at her first funeral and was a big comfort to Zach and her grandma Pucillo!
