One word to describe my Great Aunt Cile, class! She was the very definition of "lady". She will be missed and thought of often, especially when enjoying a piece of her recipe pound cake.

So sorry for your loss. What a good long, long life Lucile enjoyed. So many cannot say the same. She was one of those the Bible call especially strong. Ps. 90:10
