    I am so sorry to learn of Lucille’s passing. We were close friends back in the late 70’s and early 80’s and met when she came to work at The Austin Company. I remember so many good times and we shared lots of fun and laughter, and I am so glad she touched my life for a while. I remember their wedding and her white TransAm. She and Art had a wonderful life and she was a gracious lady. She blessed many.
