Silver Alert issued-Lillian High 82 yo, Houston, TX- Last Seen 10/3/11(Deceased

[Amys Sister]

What an awesome lady!  I honor the life she lived, the children who loved her so, an employer who truly did not discriminate, and a community who gave their time to search for her.

She awoke, did her morning routine, and the Lord called her home.

May we all be so lucky.  I just wish she had been found a little sooner so her family wasn't left wondering, but sometimes in our time of not knowing our faith is strengthened by the fire of the testing.  Lillian was shining her light and love down on them all the entire time, I have no doubt.

Her son's dedication to his mother was very touching.

Family of Lillian High thinks medical issue may have caused crash

HOUSTON—Funeral services are scheduled Friday for Lillian High, the 82-year-old woman who went missing in October, and whose story came to a tragic end last week when her car was found submerged in a southeast Houston retention pond.

High’s family said forensic tests have not yet revealed a cause of death or shed light on the cause of the accident. But now that Earl High has seen his mom’s car in person, he knows searchers had little chance of finding her at all.

"It was a mess," said Earl High. "Buried in mud, inside and out."

Not only was the woman’s black Dodge Avenger rental car submerged under 8 feet of water in the retention pond at Freehill and Kurland Dr., but it was also almost completely buried in mud and silt at the bottom of the pond, invisible to anyone walking by and even hidden from the view of aircraft passing overhead. It turns out the car was so buried in mud that when Texas EquuSearch used sonar to search the same pond just a few weeks ago, they found nothing.

Members of the Houston police dive team said they found the car by accident last week during a training dive, when one of their lines snagged on it.
Lillian High was unfamiliar with the car she was driving. It was a rental car. Her usual vehicle was in the shop when she left for work that morning in October, never to return. But her family believes that the 82-year-old, who was on medication after at least one mild stroke, may have suffered a medical problem that made her veer from her usual route. Earl High said his mom wouldn’t have normally driven on Freehill. He believes she may have suffered a medical problem, turned around, and was headed home or to his house.

It was no accident Miss Lillian was found . . . divine intervention I believe.
