To Lucille’s Family,
It will be the little things you remember, the quiet moments, the smiles, the laughter, maybe even a habit. And although it may seem hard right now, it will be the memories of these little things that help push away the pain and bring the smiles back again.
One of the things I remember most about Lucille was her laugh. You always knew when she was having a good time.
You are all in my thoughts & prayer
When we were kids all growing up we never even thought of losing our parents. Now that we’re adults it still doesn’t seem possible does it. Although your parents haven’t lived here for quite some time doesn’t mean that they’ve been forgotten. We all remember Bud and Lucille! They were hard working, good people that would help out anyone! Our sincere condolences go out to you Daryl, Deb, Tim and families. May you always remember the good times with both your parents…
Thinking of you kids….
Remembering growing up with Cile,
and what exciting things can happen with a piano, and other great memories.
I was well loved.
Sending our love,
Mavis & Everet
You have our deepest sympathies. Lucile meant so much to me. If I would have know she passed away, I would have been to her burial. She sounded so good when I spoke to her on the phone in early April. I so enjoyed her letters, and many good memories. Her and Bud were my mom and dad’s best friends since the early 1940’s. She was a special lady. I will miss her too. Love and prayers to you!!
