Wonderful Memories, Lucille, REST IN PEACE ,, .Cousin, Gretta
It is with great sadness that I write . As Preston cousins we were all so close and Lucy and I have hung in there and enjoyed one another’s company. She has been among my last persons to write in long hand to and on a weekly basis the last few years. I am sorry for our loss but believe she is at peace. My prayers are with her family. Love, Ruth
Will always remember your laugh. We girls were so fortunate to have such supportive, kind, and loving parents. Be at peace with Bob and your loved ones.
I loved Lucille . She andBob were so good to my mother and father.
We will miss you Spike, but so glad you can be with Grandpa again.
Although I know she is happier now; this is sad for the rest of us. I could not have asked for a more caring, protective, kind grandmother in my life and I was blessed that my children got to know her as long as they did. It is painful that she is gone; but it was great to have her in my life.
She was a wonderful lady, she raised a great family. She will be missed.
I worked with Lucille in the Genesee Memorial housekeeping department from 1975 to 1979 when I was transferred to the purchasing department in the hospital. There were four of us who always had coffee breaks and lunch together: Lucille, Jane Laesser, Elsie Pierce, and myself. Lucille was such a talented seamstress. When she was given a request to make something for the newborn nursery, she did it with only the most minimal information. It was a kind of apron that would slip over a nurse’s head and it had three pockets in the front and three pockets in the back so that one nurse could carry six babies at once out of the nursery if there was ever an emergency, such as a fire. I believe she made more than one when the first one was approved. One day when we were talking about sewing clothes she told me that she hated to sew the zippers on her uniforms, but she always figured that her zippers were what made her uniforms unique, even if they were not perfect. We used to have some wonderful conversations during our coffee and lunch breaks. I have thought about Lucille, Jane, and Elsie often during the last few decades – I left the hospital in 1987. They will always be a part of me.
Thank you for the marvelous memories of a part of Mom’s life were weren’t so knowledgeable of.
The sweetest person and best aunt ever. So many fond memories of Sunday dinners in childhood and the get-togethers as our parents got older for lunches and holidays. From wedding quilts to our favorite everyday kitchen towels, we have so many handcrafted memories of how her love literally and figuratively sewed the fabric of our lives together. Hers were the only gift boxes shaped like clothes you couldn’t wait to open as a kid. We miss you, Spike. At the same time we are glad you are at peace and can hear you, Uncle Bob and my parents laughing in heaven together again. God must wonder why He ever bothered creating nouns. Our love and prayers go out to all the family.
