Not sure what to say?

It is extraordinary hard to put into words how hugely she has impacted everyone she came into contact with. I can't even come up with the right metaphor because she has always been larger than life... & THAT is exactly why none of us understand why at 87 & a half she isn't here on earth with us. But certainly, as she could move mountains(& believe me, she could)she must be pretty desirable in up in heaven. Missing you, Grandma.

My grandma was such a wonderful woman, we miss her so much but remember the good memories of her and my grandpa

Darryl, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother. My family's thought's and prayers are with you and your family. God be with you and Bless you all. Rocki & family, Chick & Sadie Zapata & the Adams family.

if you look up sweetheart in the dictionary you will find a picture of Mom Duhon.....

I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs Duhon.I knew most of the boys from our days at Bassett Park. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

Such a genuinely nice Lady. She will be missed.

I am so sorry to hear, she was such a nice lady. Heaven gained a beautiful angel. She shopped at the Hill Rd Meijer and she was one of my favorite customers. I am going to miss her! She was a true gem!

I was sorry to read about Lucille Duhon's death. I did not know her, but I see her son Doug has passed away, too. Doug was a dear friend of mine from right after high school though GM Flint Metal Fab who I lost touch with. My prayers are with the family for their losses.

Lucille was a joy to know and have as a neighbor. She always had a genuine smile and a kindhearted nature. She will be greatly missed.
