December 28, 2014

I came to Oakland University in 1993 knowing I wanted to major in PSY, but not sure which route I wanted to pursue.  Then I met Prof Lilliston!  He one of the main reasons I am what I am today.  Not only did I enjoy him as a Prof., but also as a friend.  We talked about academic stuff, but most importantly we talked about my future, career, personal life, my family, his family, etc.  I went onto Graduate School, but stayed in touch through the years.  He met my future husband in 1997, but was out of town for our wedding in 1998.  He (and his wife) guided me into a successful career as a social worker.  I worked with Beaumont Hospice for 15 years before returning to Oakland University.  I am now teaching and advising students.  I try to give the students the same guidance and support he offered me.  I can only try to live up to the greatness he was to me.  My entire family knows how much Prof. Lilliston meant to me and we all offer our condolences to you.  What an amazing man.  The world was very lucky to have him in it.  I will cherish every memory I have of him.
