My condolences on the passing of Lucille. As Maggie has already stated, Lucille was a classy lady and very friendly to all of us in the Recyling Division of Reynolds. I'm sure the rest of our group felt the same way about her. May God grant you peace at this difficult time.

I worked with Lucille in the Recycling Div. of Reynolds Metals. She was a very elegant and classy lady who I had the pleasure of working with for many years. Very sorry for your loss.
