Dear Mildred and family, thinking of you memorialize Lucille. I am also remembering the fun time I had with the two of you talking, sightseeing, shopping, etc. when I visited you in Dayton. Lucille was sweet to keep us reasonable. May the Lord give you the strength you need at this time.

Mother Herring you will truly be missed. I will always remember what you have taught and shared with me. We will do our best to carry on the Mothers Board, but as we know that no one can fill the shoes of Mother Lucille Herring. Love you and will miss you.

I will always cherish memories of my first cousin. She was always a joy to be with and share memories of our mothers. She always shared her testimony of God's goodness and grace. She will be missed by members of the Hyde Park Community Families Reunion. I will continue to remember the family in prayer.
