My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Lucy and Willard were good friends of my parents, Sherman and Ragnhild Preston. Sherman and Willard were 1st cousins "once removed." I remember them bringing many treats (from their garden or homemade by Lucy) to my parents. I always enjoyed visiting with them, and we often talked about our "family tree." Lucy was a wonderful, generous person. I am so sorry I won't be able to attend her funeral service, as I'm leaving tomorrow morning to spend Christmas with my daughter's family.
