Lucille always made me feel right at home when, as a child, I would visit Brent. She is remembered fondly along with Weston and Brent's sisters. My condolences.

I
was saddened to hear about the passing of Lucille. I first met her in
1973 at LDS Hospital. I worked with her for many years and always
enjoyed her cheerful attidtude and friendly smile. She was also a very
good friend during those years. I have thought of her often over the
years and cherished the association we had. My condolences to the
family.

Laurie and Family,
I was saddened to hear of your mother's passing. She was always so
cheerful when I would see her around the hospital. She would make it a
point to say hello to me. My thoughts and prayers are with you. May God
bless you and your family at this time.
Sincerely,
Carol Coddington Benoit

I was sorry to learn of the loss of your wife and mother. I haven't seen her since she came to my mother's viewing. She was always such a good friend to our mother. Mom thought the world of Lucille. Aside from being neighbors for many many years, they served together at the hospital and the ward, as well as DUP. Lucille brightened our mother's last days with her love and friendship.

May the peace that only the Savior can give fill your hearts during this difficult time.

Love, Kathy Kocherhans Krahenbuhl
