Lucille, you sure will be missed. I enjoyed running into you and Frank at Greenspire, your skill at making new violets out of just a single leaf, something I keep failing at MISERERABLY, and just general conversations when I would get to visit with you. RIP, beautiful lady. :-)

I remember coming to your house out in the country and staying overnight. I remember all the great food she would cook and made sure that everytime I was there that she always had something for me to try that I never had before. She will be missed and was a great person.

Lucille and her husband Frank were wonderful friends and neighbors to my young family when we moved to Oakview Lane; e.g., so many memories of sitting on the back patio, grilling out, having a beer and watch the kids play. JoAnn was always a star babysitting the kids ..... always could count on her and Lucille and Frank. They were the best of times.......... Olin Harried
