I am so sorry to learn of Lucille’s passing. I enjoyed my visits with her over at the care center when my mom was there God bless all of you and Lyle you were such a good caregiver
Lois Haug says
I was so sorry to read about Lucille’s death. We had been friends for many years as we
worked together at Socony Vacuum and I was her matron of honor when she and Bob were
married. We didn’t see each other often, but did telephone conversations often and would meet at church. I missed her when she left for Miles City but I understood she needed your care Lyle.
those after she went to Miles City.
