To Lucille's Family, Please accept my deepest sympathy on your mother's passing. I grew up next door to Hilda and Ernie's and I would see Lucille when she came to visit your grandparents in Nova Scotia. In later years I visited her when she stayed at the Quarter Deck in Summerville. She loved the beach, and touring Nova Scotia. Cherish all your wonderful memories. Faye(Parnell)Levy

We would like to express our sincere sympathy to Lucille's children and her sister, Janice and family. She was our next door neighbor when she resided in Nova Scotia and I have many fond memories of her. We grew up together and kept in touch after she moved away. I will miss her yearly vists to Summerville Beach, her beautiful smile and all our reminiscing. God is our refuge and strength. He will help you through these difficult times. He has taken another angel from us. Rest in peace, Lucille. Let your star shine down upon us. Shirley & Gordon Neal

Lucille was a loving wife, mother, sister, and grandmother. She was independent, stubborn, caring, kind, funny, and was indeed very spiritual ... this is what we loved about her. Dorina and Lucille were neighbors in Nova Scotia and Lucille babysat Dorina on many occasions during the the late 1940's and this was the beginning of a wonderful life long friendship. I first met Lucille close to 40 years ago, and throughout those years we had several lovely visits and many wonderful conversations,... which I will certainly miss dearly. Lucille has now gone home to be with her loving husband Bob. May God Bless Lucille, her family and her many friends. With our love Dorina and John. xx
