I will never forget the time Lucille insisted on trying on my rollerblades, despite my urging her not to. She did a great job doing skating around, and smiled all day long afterwards.

We will miss Lucille and I will think of her every so often.

Our deepest condolences on your loss.

Per your suggestion, we will make a donation to the Special Olympics in Lucille's name.

Love,

Anthony, Elizabeth, Ava, and Jackson Magnabosco
