It is a amazing how friends and family came together to honor Lucinda yesterday! Thank you all who helped make the Memorial Service so meaningful. Her spirit and the spirit of her faith in Jesus Christ shined through her husband, John, her children, Galya and Kolya, and brought us all together as a family united in love. Precious memories recalled, Lucinda's legacy lives on. "I love you Lucinda." "I love you, too. mom." Words I treausre. What a privilege to be her earthly mother!

Lucinda was a wonderful woman and she touched so many lives. It was an honor to have her teach me piano when she lived in Petaluma in the mid 80's. She was always patient and kind. I will remember handing her the sheet music to "If These Walls Could Speak" and her playing though it gracefully on the first try! She was a blessing to us all.

I never actually met Lucinda in person, but I have prayed for her often over the last several years. I know she is with Jesus and I'll meet her later when I, too, leave this world.

We were privileged to be part of Lucinda's extended family, celebrating special days with the Serrano/Randles families. On the traditional yearly Christian days of celebration we joined together for a picnic in the UC DAVIS Arboretum or around the large table at the home of Larry and Lori's family. These were always days of family fun featuring the various activities of the season. Lucinda loved to play games that challenged all of us as we enjoyed playing games together as a family.
We celebrated with John and Lucinda on the occasion of their wedding. We celebrated with them when Galya and Kolya entered their life to create a family of four. We admired John and Lucinda's desire to instruct Galya and Kolya in the social and academic things that all children need to learn.
During all of these events, we admired their Christian faith and their adherence to the teachings from God's Word. When Lucinda's health began to decline, their belief in God and His healing power grew in strength. God chose to give her complete healing by taking her to be with Him. We rejoice with her while raising our prayers for strength for the family and friends she has left here on Earth. May her model of Christian faith and love inspire each one of us to spend our days on Earth wisely in His service.

Lucinda came into my life when her dad, Roy Randles, and I got married in 1980. We became wonderful friends and we spent many hours visiting, sharing and laughing. She drove to Hanford often to visit us and later on with John, Galya and Kolya and I cherish all those memories. She was a very special person and was always kind to me and my three daughters and their families. Lucinda will always be in my heart. I love you Lucinda! God's promise is that I will see you again someday!

Although Lucinda came into my life 28 years ago as my step-sister, she was truly my SISTER in my heart. I was lucky that when my mom Delfa married my step-dad Roy Randles that Lucinda, along with Lori and Lisa were a part of the wonderful package. She was always a joy to be near and had a wonderful sense of humor. She always made me and everyone around her feel so special. I will miss her so much but I know I will see her again someday and she will be there to greet me with open arms just as she did in this world. I love you Lucinda!

I was privileged to have Lucinda as my older sister. Many times I became the beneficiary of her genuine care, her sincere love and her words of encouragement. Lucinda was always so approachable, so supportive, and so easy to be with causing those around her to feel cherished and comfortable. She lived a life that was a pattern to me, and she touched the lives of many with her strong, yet meek and quiet spirit (1 Pet. 3:4).
When she and John were married, we were so happy that together they became fellow heirs of the grace of life (1 Pet. 3:7). When Galya and Kolya were added to our family, we rejoiced again that God had chosen to bless us with such precious gifts. Although our hearts are heavy considering our present loss, we must still rejoice that we were honored for a length of time to know and be with Lucinda and that we will continue to be able to love, cherish and grow with her precious family whom she loved so dearly.
I thank the Lord for Lucinda—a person who loved the Lord Jesus Christ and lived to honor God in all things.

We are so grateful for Lucinda! She had a steadfast spirit. She was always ready to offer an encouraging word, prayer and/or deed. In addition to what has already been written, she was an accomplished musician. She played the piano, guitar, and oboe. She sang, accompanied singers and other instrumentalists. She also taught music lessons. We are especially grateful that she brought “Uncle John”, Galya and Kolya into our lives. We miss you, Lucinda but look forward to the time when we will all meet together in our Lord’s presence!

Having met Lucinda only twice, and then briefly, I was struck by her quiet dignity and genuine openness.
Lois Serrano, Lucinda's mom, kept me and many of my bcmets sisters informed of Lucinda's difficult journey through diagnosis and treatment, by posting messages to our online support group. Our communal empathy, and resonant sadness, reach out to Lois, John, Kolya and Galya and all of Lucinda's friends and family who are grieving the loss of a precious daughter, wife, mother, sister and friend.

When Lucinda came into my life, God filled the whole world with everything that was good. Happy Memories fill my heart and comfort me until we meet again. What an honor to be her earthly mother. I am joyful that John, her husband, joined with her and that Lucinda was chosen by God to be the earthly mother to Galya and Kolya. As John's, Galya's and Kolya's family we will always love them and take care of them.
In Christ name, Mom, Grandmother Lois,
"I love you Lucinda!" "I love you, too. Mom."
