I was so sad to hear of Lucille’s death. What a treasure she was. I knew Lucille by association with Sterling House. I can see her now sitting at her table in the dining room with the sunshine coming through the window. I enjoyed reading about her life and what she accomplished, what a talented lady. I am blessed to know her at this time in her life. My sincere sympathy to the family. I will miss her sweet spirit and contagious smile.
Belinda & John – we fondly remember the spirited and fun-loving Lucille. Our condolences to you and your family. You are in our thoughts and prayers. Peace be with you, Kim & Steve Sparks
I am sorry to hear about your loss. This must be a really sad time for your family. Something encouraging is found in the bible. (Revelations 213,4) We all can look forward to this time.
