We're very sad to hear of Lucille's passing and it's still hard for us to believe. We would like to express our deepest sympathy and we send our prayers to all of her family. Lucille, and Harry, were the first people we met, just before building our home, just across the street from them. Though the many years, we thought of them as family. Lucielle hosted a tea party, which we'll always remember, for our daughter when she was still just a baby. Alot of good memories. Lucille will surely be missed but her memory will still live on with us. Phil, Mary, and Alexandra Rahal
