So sorry to hear of Lucille's passing. I just found out yesterday. I worked with her quite a few years when she worked for the state of Iowa. She always had a smile. She always wanted to know about your business but she wanted to keep hers secret, but that was Lucille. Just know you have my prayers and sympathy.

I remember Lucile so well when she worked at the Walk In Fruit market on East 6th street in Des Moines.
She was such a friendly person.
I grew up at Hammer Pharmacy,
a few steps north of the market.
Our sincere condolence's to the family.
