The Secret life of bees...did lily get love?

Question

Lily asked May to tell her mom to send a sign that meant she loved her.

Did she ever send her love?

Answer 1

Lily knew deep down that her mother loved her.  Ive read that book 5 times and I cant recall that Lily got a sign from her mother.  

All lily had from her mother was the box of her things, such as her comb etc.  

Answer 2

Just  read that bit today. At the end of chapter 13 p342 she gets her sign. August has brought her a box of things that belonged to her mother. In this box is a photograph of Lily and her mother when Lily was a baby. Her mother is feeding her and smiling at her. It is then clear to Lily that her mother did love her and she takes this picture as her sign.
