Dear Jerry, Fr. Joe, Donna, and Paul,

Lucille was a special person. I'll always remember our youth, teen years, and adult years. We had so much fun during our teens and early twenties. I remember when we would go for a ride on a Sunday afternoon in her Dad's Chevy. I remember when we used to go dancing at the Sherri Biltmore on Saturday nights in Boston; when she met Jerry. I remember the egg yolk in the chocolate cake! I remember how she comforted me in sad times and made me feel better.

I remember the fun we had in Maine at the summer house. She always made us feel at home. Lucille, Cathy, Nina and I were "the club." We had great times together. We miss her dearly.

Jerry, Father Joe, Donna, Rich, Paul, Diane, Joanne and family, Al and family and Anthony and family,



We just learned that this website was open for expressions of our love for Lucille.



She is a part of us that can never be replaced and she will always have that special place. Our only regret is that we didn't have the opportunity to spend more time with her, but we have memories that will last a lifetime. She was my friend since I was 13 years old in Jr. High. We connected immediately and shared so many special memories and secrets.



There's so much we could say but we'll write again about our love for Lucille (and her family). My children, Lynne, Cheryl and Billy send their love also. They all remember what a happy family you were and how they loved to go to your house to play.



Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you.



Love Cathy and John Doheney

To Lucille's Family,



I met Lucille almost 21 years ago when I joined Avon and she was assigned to be my "mentor" and help me along and answer any questions that I had. Needless to say, there were many calls that went back and forth and even when I could tell she was very busy, she always took the time to help and make me feel good at the same time. She had a way of making you feel like you were special. She had a very good heart. At the same time, she was quite a prankster. We would exchange glances and just crack up. She had quite a sense of humor. We attended many of the Avon functions together. There was a group of 5 of us who rode together and we were all saddened to hear of her passing. God has called a wonderful and loving person home. She will live in our hearts forever.

I wanted to offer my condolences on the loss of a very remarkable woman. I have very fond memories of playing at the Fosters' house as a kid. It was a joy to see the love the Fosters had for each other and their community. Lucille was a special woman who will be fondly remembered. God Bless.

Dear Father Joe,

I extend my heartfelt condolences to you and your family. Surely your Mother must have been a remarkable woman as she has left behind a remarkable living legacy. I wish that I had been able to tell her how much comfort you gave to my husband Stephen and me during his illness and after his passing. She would have been so proud (as I am sure she always was) of you.



May you find comfort in the happy memories that you have.

Dear Jerry, Joe, Donna & Paul,



I am so sorry to hear about Lucille's passing. She was such a wonderful person throughout her whole life and has made a significant impression on mine. Although we haven't been neighbors for years now, I think of all of you often and have very fond memories of our times together. I used to look forward to seeing your parents at functions around the town. Your mother had a bright smile and a warm hug for me whenever I saw her and that is what I will miss most of all. Please let me know if there is anything that I can do for you. Lucille and all of you are in my thoughts and prayers as well as those of my family. Take care and God Bless. May your memories comfort you during this time of great sadness.

Even with all she went through, I never heard her complain. Maine will not be the same without her.

My thoughts are with you during this difficult time. Words are poor things when we suffer the loss of a loved one. Still I want to convey my desire, however inadequate, to offer consolation. I have fond memories of my dear friend, Lucille. Nina telephoned me and I was so upset to hear the sad news. Please accept my deepest sympathy for you and your family in your bereavement.
