I was saddened to learn of Lucille's passing in September. I apologize for how late this note is. I worked with Lucille at Peoples Federal Savings and Loan in Mansfield, Ohio when she and Paul lived there. I have such fond and wonderful memories of her. Her testimony for the Lord Jesus was so powerful. What a gentle and kind women she was! She often talked about her 2 sons as well as her extended family. There were MANY days she longed for her "mountains" of N.C. and to return to her home in Hendersonville! Lucille and Paul would often stop by my bank office in Lexington, Ohio when they visited Mansfield. Lucille will forever remain in my heart, she was dearly loved in Ohio! May God continue to bring you joy and comfort as you await your reunion with her in Heaven. Marty Campbell Lexington, Ohio
