Blow me a kiss, Miss Lilly by Nancy White Carlstrom

Blow me a kiss, Miss Lilly by Nancy White Carlstrom, illustrated by Amy Schwartz. Harper and Row, 1990.

A lovely story which tells of the relationship between Sara and her elderly neighbour Miss Lilly.  Miss Lilly is a long-term resident in the community with bonds to many people, but Sara is her best friend. One year Miss Lilly is hospitalised and never returns. Sara's family care for Miss Lilly's cat, Snug, and Sara reminds him of everything the three of them used to do. Sara's memories help her work through her grief, so that she can celebrate the fun she had with Miss Lilly.
