"Dear Jeff, Larry and Janie, Aunt Lucille was such a beautiful person inside and out. And she always had a sweet smile. Momma loved her so much. What sweet sisters! May God comfort and bless you all during this time. We'll miss her, but we're so thankful to know that she is in heaven now. Love, Pam and Ed Engle"
