I just learned of aunt Lucille's passing. I remember how she cared for my grandmother Callie without complaint. My father called her his "baby sister" and with a smile said "she's one of a kind." What a wonderful person she was. She would make me a cup of coffee and an oatmeal cookie when I was a small child(mostly sugar and milk) but I had to promised not to tell mom. It was always "our secret". I never told anyone till now Aunt Lucy. You can have me another cup waiting when I see you again. I Love You
