The
first time I met Mrs Larkin in 1965 I was hanging out with her son
Chris. She was one of the "cool" mothers. She was very good looking and
very nice to us kids. Little did we know that Chris would only be with
us for a few more years. For a mother to lose a child, must be the
worst kind of pain. She was a strong person. Happy to have known her
and love her from a distance. May she rest in peace.

Lucille was a wonderful person and a 'GREAT' grandmother to my nephew Christopher and mother-in-law to my sister Vi. I will always remember the good times we had playing bingo and her wonderful lympia that always brought a smile to our faces ( and tummies!) You had a wonderful mother Joel, and she will be missed. Love always, Jay and Mary Kuharske
