Dear Family,
I am a cousin of Lucille’s. My grandparents were Florence and Ernie Scott. I knew your mom when she lived here for a short time. I was in your parent’s wedding. So sorry to hear of Lucille’s death. She held a special place in my heart.

When I was a kid visiting Aunt Lucille and Uncle Junior was always a fun and happy time for me. Uncle junior joke around with us(kids) and aunt Lucille would sit back and laugh. Loved all the laughter. It was definitely an enjoyable time for a kid to witness and it was heartfelt. I still remembered those times visiting Crawfordsville Arkansas.
Thank You
