All the family has my deepest sympathy. I will miss our phone calls, but Joetta and I have said that we will all on Aunt Lucy's birthday each year to keep in touch.
She was my last living Aunt.

I always thought I would get to meet Aunt Lucille, my great aunt, & talk to her. among other things, about my grandfather, her brother Floyd. I regret that I never made the trip to Florida. My memories of Aunt Lucille will have to remain the few stories from my father William (Bill) Styer. I wish I had gotten to know her.

My condolences to those who knew & loved her.
