To Lucille’s family – I so wish we could be with you all as you celebrate Lucille’s life
today. She and Ray welcomed our family into yours so many years ago, and I have such great memories of them both. It’s another sad Christmas for us…but not for Lucille. It’s undoubtedly her best Christmas ever, as she’s reunited with her (and our)
loved ones. I have a feeling there’s a whole lot of talking and a whole lot of fun going
on up There!!:)
Much love to you all…Kay and Rod
