Dear Joan, Lorna and Melissa,
Steve and I were very sorry to hear of your mother’s passing. Lulu was an amazing person, she always was quick to smile and showed everyone just how much she thought of them. Her keen interest in life was always evident. We will miss her.
God Bless,
Susan and Steve Cole, RCC
Dear Joan, Lorna, and Melissa,
I was fortunate to visit with your mother many years ago at her home. She was so proud of her daughters. Seeing the photo Joan posted of Lucia, whom I remember as a young girl during her visits to Aunt Joan, standing next to Lulu in the photo, I was struck by how beautiful they both were and at the amazing family resemblance. With warmest regards, Fredericka
