Everything about her was gracious and kind. Hopefully the many good memories will sustain us all.  My comfort is that she has no more pain or troubles where she is, where all angels go.  With a heavy heart full of love,

Words are inadequate to express the heartfelt loss of my wonderful Aunt Lucille.  Even though I shared her with many cousins, she always made me feel such a special part of her family.  Essentially, she was MY Aunt only and I adored her.  Memories of her love, warmth, smiles, hugs and kindnesses will always be with me.  She was my mentor and role model--from summer vacations spent at Kilbourne Rd. to wonderful visits to Madison.   Lucille was always so thoughtful.   I will truly miss my annual birthday card and letter from her.  The cards and messages were always so meaningful and chosen with her loving good wishes.  It is my hope that when I arrive in Heaven, she will be there to meet me with her kisses and hugs telling me seating is down front for the Drouin and Murphy families.  Some people make the world more special just by being in it.  She has touched and blessed us all.  My deepest sympathy, thoughts and prayers to Sharon and Ray, David and Barbara, Adrienne, Suzanne and Doug, Tom, Allen and Lisa and Cindy and Allen.  May you be consoled knowing that Lucille and Charlie are reunited and dancing in heaven.
Love always,
Jerrie (Drouin) Murphy
Madison, Wisconsin

Roger was overwhelmed with emotion and tears today when informed of his sister's passing.   Despite suffering from dementia, he shared good memories of his wonderful sister.  Her loss is irreplaceable.  She will always be with us in spirit.  Deepest sympathy to the Kotal and Drouin families.

Lucille was a fabulous friend and she radiated kindness and caring to everyone fortunate enough to know her. She was much loved and will be much missed. We are sending our love, thoughts and prayers to Lucille's wonderful family.

The world is definitely a sadder place, as it has lost one of its' classiest ladies. I will always remember her beautiful smile and warm hugs whenever Lucille would greet us at a family party.  Our sincerest  sympathy to the entire family.  Let all those good memories keep her close at heart. God Bless you all.

Gracious, kind, honest, and loving.
It did not occur to me as a child how much work it must have been to not only have all those children, but, to raise them as kind and loving people. Together with Uncle Charlie, she sure made it look easy. She told me once she has had a baby in her arms her entire life. I'm sure that was very true, how lucky you were to be one of them!
I loved her smile and the way she always touched my cheeks when saying hello. 
Her strength is a great inspiration for women of any generation.
I will truly miss her.

Much Love to you all.
God Bless

Lucille was a loving member of the Clinton Township Senior Center.  Her smile and kind words will be with us forever.

I have many cherished memories of Aunt Lulu, but my favorite one is walking into her home and smelling rotten bananas.  When I told her this story, she was MORTIFIED!  But I then explained that I knew banana bread was coming!  Not only did I get a slice, but I also got her beautiful smile and a giant hug!  Thinking of all of you at this time, but know that she touched so many of us in a special way.  Love and prayers to all of you.
