Lucille was a dear friend in our informal sewing group at MIT. When I visited her in Woonsockett she was a most cordial hostess. She withstood her illness with such strength. I will always remember her steadfastness in the care of her dear mother.

Lucille and I met when we worked in the M.E. dept at MIT in the 1960s. We kept in touch over the years and I was always interested to hear about her travel adventures and to hear her stories. She was so adventurous and wanted to do everything. She was a special person and a good friend.

When we finally learned that she was safe we decided that Lucille should never go anywhere without letting us know. She is now in a safe place and has...
