I have very fond memories of Lucy (didn't know that wasn't her first name!) She was always so warm and welcoming when we would invade her home! She was a fun mom and I loved going to Di's house! She was a terrific mom and Di was a terrific daughter, who will miss her greatly. Much love to both!

I have so many fond memories of Lucille. She was my first cousin, our mothers were sisters. I remember most of all her beautiful laugh and she always had a smile on her face. I'm sorry that I didn't get to spend more time with her I know she will be missed by her close family. Know that I loved her and have thought about her through the years. I'm so sorry for your loss. She is resting in the arms of God.
