Lucile was a wonderful woman and a pleasure to be around. Although she was only a part of my life for a short time, I grew very fondly of her. I loved her so much. She will be greatly missed at the heartland house.

The Broyles Family through our son-in-law Jim Clarke had the privilege of knowing Mrs Clarke and she will be remembered as one who had a bubbling sense of humor and one who dearly loved her family, her Church, and her Savior, Jesus Christ. She will be greatly missed by all of our family.
