To the Pappas family,

Rog and I are so profoundly saddened by the loss of Lucille. Our hearts share your sorrow.

Through the years since we first met Rog and I feel like we have been a part of your beautiful family. All of you are very loving and kind. I know that Lucille loved all of you so much and that she was extremely proud. I admire the strength that she had and her strong will. Her family was her life all her life. She is now your guardian angel who will watch over you. Rog and I will never forget her and we will always tell the children about her and how much she loved them. She will live in all of us.

May God Bless you and help you through this difficult time.

With love,

Rog & Donna

To Family and Friends of Lucille,

I'll never forget Lucille's friendship and kindness. She was helpful and patient when I joined the Office of Medical Administration at Oak Forest Hospital. Her strength and optimism, as she battled her illness, was an inspiration to everyone who came into contact with Lucille. She was a good listener, a patient and kind person, and now, an Angel in Heaven. I admired her love and dedication to her family and enjoyed the pictures and stories she shared about her grandchildren. I was blessed to have known her.
