In Loving
Memory

I remember Aunt Lucy as a kind, fun loving person. She enjoyed being around her 7 sisters and 2 brothers. My mother, Mildred, was one of her younger sisters. Aunt Lucy welcomed our large family, 6 children and 2 adults, into her home when she lived in the Rumford, Mexico, West Peru area. She cooked large meals to feed us. We went for swims and picnics at nearby Mt. Blue State Park. We had fun playing with our cousins Coleen, Laura, and Prentice. Aunt Lucy’s was one of our favorite places to go.

I hadn’t seen Aunt Lucy in the past few years but spoke to her on the phone. She was still sharp as a tack. She remembered everything about her childhood. I was amazed that she was able to write a note to me and sign her Christmas cards even at age 97.

I will miss our conversations and correspondence. Aunt Lucy was a great person and I loved her very much.
