Sandy and Lucille's family: My sympathies are extended to all of you at this time. It was indeed a privilege and pleasure to get to know Lucille through her association with the DeForest area Community and Sr. Center. I am sure God is calling the "right" numbers. May your memories sustain you now and until that day when you are reunited with her in Heaven.
