Dear. Dr. Mattai, I had the pleasure of speaking with you one night in the laundry room. I enjoyed you so much and like many others were so happy for Lurline. She so busy and not a social building I never got to know her well but she was such a joy when I would see her. I and many others were so happy you two were together! A get together for all of us would have been wonderful but covid took over! I feel blessed to have known you two and am deeply saddened. Georgia

Lurline lived in the same building as I. She was a joy to be here busy as she was! I am deeply saddened by her passing. I thought of her the other day, always so lovely in her red beret. May the peace of the Lord be with her and her family. You are loved.
