I am so sorry for your loss. She was one of the kindest people i knew. Her heart was so big and she gave nothing but love to everyone she knew. She had a profound impact on my life and I’m so glad to have known her for the relatively short time i did. She gave me the same love as if i was one of her own children or even a grandchild. She will be truly missed. May God bless you all with strength and peace.
Lucille is (not was)a Godly, kind, loving person. She treated everyone around her with respect. Lucille was a giving person. I will miss her but I do believe that death may end a life but it doesn’t end a relationship.
Lucille usually sat behind me in church with such a lovely smile on her face that made me glad I came . She never forgot to ask about my sons with genuine interest. She was so sweet and caring. I will truly miss her.
Very sorry to hear of Lucille’s passing. I knew her Mom Rita, Dad Roland, brothers Lionel, Leo, Donald, & Roger. Our thoughts are with you.
Lucy, you were loved by so many friends and you will be missed by everyone that you ever met. You never met someone you didn’t get to know and love. Good bye, my friend. Bob and girls, my condolences and prayers go out to you.
We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers at this time. Lucille will be missed.
