Sorry for your loss. Keeping you in our thoughts and prayers.
Miss Lucille was a sweet lady and I know you will miss her greatly. I attended church with her for a few years and she was so nice and made me feel welcome. My thoughts and prayers are with your family.
Aunt Lucille, I loved you dearly and will
miss you greatly. Some of my earliest
memories are of visiting you on the farm
for good food and homemade ice cream.
Also, of you sizing my feet for new shoes
at Parks-Belk and talking about your trip
to San Francisco. Such a kind and caring
soul. Life won't be the same without you.

Lucille was was a wonderfully sweet lady that
was well liked by all who knew her. Remembering
her sourdough bread "I can just smell it now" that
everyone praised.
WE will miss you, but know that you are no longer
in pain and in the most glorious place called
Heaven. Rest in Peace my friend.
