We are so sorry for your loss…..Carla and Cal Bender
Sending my heartfelt sympathy to you all! I have such great memories of us all going to school together. What a wonderful picture of your Mom. May good memories carry you through these days ahead.
Susan, I’m so very sorry for the loss of your Mom.
Sending prayers to family and friends. Lucy Marlene and I all were born in July of 36 and have been friends ever since. We were all lucky to be together to celebrate our 80th birthdays. She was a wonderful lady. God bless.
Sorry for your loss, she was a wonderful lady and friend of yours! I remember visiting with her at Riverview when Neileen was living there.

My heartfelt condolences go out to the family. Lucy and Pat were fun to watch on the dance floor!
I haven’t been good at keeping in touch with family, but I just now found out that we lost my aunt Lucy. I remember her voice and laugh well. She was my dad, Joseph’s youngest brother, Patrick’s wife. May her memory be a blessing. And may the LORD comfort her family and friends.
So very sorry for your loss. I’m praying for comfort for all family members. While they were both still well, my Dad (Delbert Wiesinger) & Lucy had some wonderful times, travel & fun in their golden years! Precious memories!
Cousin Greg Harbac shares deepest sorrow for your family. Mom (91 years old), Patrick Miller’s first cousin, still talks today about that there was hardly a square dance that Lucy and Patrick would pass up. AND Mom still finds time to chuckle about an event not completely unheard of at the time when after her father died and Patrick’s mother passed away Patrick’s father married her mother… making Patrick (Lucy’s husband) both her cousin and her brother. Sent with Love to my cousins.
