After I grew up, I no longer took family trips to Michigan. My fondest memories of Aunt Lucia were our family visits to the Boonenberg home in Taylor, Michigan. I loved the house, the huge yard, the pets -- they even had a goat at one time. It was fun to see Lucia, my dad and mom, and Jack -- and other adult family members laughing and telling stories about days gone by in a relaxed place. No work, no chores, everyone pitched in cleaning up after meals. The kids all had a great time playing. I remember at one gathering when we were all out in the yard doing the twist! Fun, fun times. I miss those days and those we all love who are no longer with us. I wish my own kids had these experiences we had as kids. I know how much I miss Aunt Lucia -- and I think I know how much my cousins miss her, too.

Please accept my sincere sympathy in the loss of your mother, grandmother and great grandmother. She was such a sweetie and so happy that I was able to visit with her on many occasions when we both returned to Nahma for the Labor Day celebrations. I will miss seeing her there.

I was sorry to hear of Aunt Lucia's death. I remember visiting Aunt Lucia and Uncle Jack when I was in college. They were so kind and gracious. Because I wanted to visit Grandma Tobin, I flew into an airport near Aunt Lucia and Uncle Jack. They picked me up and took me to lunch. Later, they helped me connect with Uncle Punk and Aunt Kathy. I also have fond memories of our family's summer trips to Michigan. We always spent a night with the Boonenbergs before driving the rest of the way to Grandma and Grandpa Tobin's. My prayers are with your family. May Aunt Lucia's soul rest in peace.

I was saddened to hear of Aunt Lucia's passing. I enjoyed the few times she came to visit in Washington. We would connect for lunch or dinner and walk through cemeteries looking for mutual ancestors. We would share memories of my childhood when we would visit all of the cousins at the Taylor house. Such fun times!

My deepest sympathy to all my Boonenberg cousins and all of Aunt Lucia's grandchildren. How fortunate for the grand and great grandchildren that they might be old enough to remember her. Hold onto each other through this sad time. My heart is with all of you, too.
