Sending love and sympathy at the passing of lovely Lucille ; one of my favorite ladies . Her faith , love, and humor will never be forgotten. Heaven is even more dear !
Such a special person. So Glad we got to visit with her at mom’s B-day party in May. We will miss her very much but know that she is happy being reunited with Gene in Heaven, and look forward to seeing her again when we get there!!!! Love Deb & Len
Your mother and grandmother, Lucille, was a very sweet and loving lady. Her lovely smile was always a reflection of Jesus and His love. I enjoyed knowing her through Bible study and LWML, and also seeing her when she attended church services. I know how much you will miss her; but it is a joy to know that she is now in heaven, with Jesus, enjoying a sin-free life for all eternity!
We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of Lucille. She was an important member of St. John’s LWML as treasurer for many years. She was a very sweet woman and will be missed. Resting in her Saviors arms.
Respectfully,
Joanie Kenning
Latisha Gray condolences:
Lucille Goetz had a sweet, wonderful,
caring heart. Always had an ear to listen and give advice.
Beautiful sense of humor that i will truly miss.
God rest her soul in Jesus name, Amen.
Aunt Lu (and Uncle Gene) were my Godparents and therefore were always special to me. Aunt Lu was always concerned about everyone else, she even had a card sent to me last week before my medical procedure. Their house/basement was the focal point of many a family gathering from Grandma & Grandpa’s time up to last Sept for dad’s 90th birthday celebration – so many memories.
Sorry that I cannot be there for the funeral, we will have to make a trip back sometime…
Rest in Peace reunited with Uncle Gene!
-Matt
I am so sorry to learn of Ms Lucille’s passing. There is no greater pain than losing a loved one to death. Even Jesus gave way to tears when Lazarus died. Empowered by his Father, Jesus restored life to Lazarus. This was a great comfort to the family. (John 11:35, 40-43) In due time, God and Jesus will also restore life to our loved ones. (John 5:28,29) I look forward to the fulfillment of this prophecy. The Bible gives us hope.
