Lucille, I will remember you as a kind and sweet lady, I never heard an unkind word. Lucille made my life feel less stressed at a point in my past where I needed comfort. I can say she was a good stepmother and mother to her children, she never made me feel like a stranger. My heart goes out to all her family..Lucille will be missed...

My heart goes out to Mrs. Williamson's family at the news of her passing. She was a lovely person with a special character. I remember her fondly as a favorite regular customer at Grand Furniture in Portsmouth who always brightened our day when she visited.
