Art and Lucille were two of my very favorite customers at Meijer. I looked forward to their daily visits. Lucille sent me flowers when I had surgery and often went to lunch with me after Art passed away. She even brought me a bag of groceries when I helped open the Cadillac Meijer store, so I wouldn't be on the streets of a strange town! She had a heart of gold. My condolences go out to all.

Although we did not know her well, our family shares your sadness at the passing of 'Aunt Lou'. She always had a happy smile and warm welcome for us when we would stop to see 'Grandma' and 'Grandpa' Provencher on our way to or from Bay View.
