Dear Rees family,
I have always appreciated what a wonderful grandmother lucile was to Louisa and destany,Tanyon, and Nyla. I always felt secure in the knowledge that Lucile and Tom were always there for them. I have told her many times how beautiful her eyes were. My heart and prayers goes out to the whole family.
