    Aunt Lucille was always so easy going and a very hard worker. She always knew what needed to be done around my grandparents farm. I can still picture her up in the opening to the hayloft pulling in the bales of hay that I think Wendell was pulling up to her on a pulley from the back of the tractor trailer. It was always nice to see her when we went down there. She was always so cheerful!

    Danny, my thoughts and prayers go with you during this time of sorrow. The two things I remember most about Aunt Lucille was her wondrous gift of laughter and her mouth watering you could never get enough of BBQ ribs.
