Chuck and Tom,
Yesterday I learned of your mom's passing. Needless, to say, I was somewhat surprised, as I see her as full of life and very active. I pray that she was not robbed of her vitality for an extended time. I was blessed to be her co-worker and friend. My sincere sympathy to you.

We met Lucille in May of this year, while looking for property near her home in "Paradise" as she called it. She was so friendly, spunky and full of insight in helping with our search. We got to last visit with her in July and share a Coke on her back porch. Was looking forward to another visit with her before seeing her obituary. So sorry for your loss. She was a special lady.
