Our condolences for your loss. Lucille was a guiding light for our Woman Marines Chapter. She will be sorely missed and leaves large shoes for those of us in the chapter to attempt to fill. Fair winds and following seas, Lucille. Semper fi.
“…If the Army and the Navy ever look on Heaven’s scenes, they will find the streets are guarded by United States Marines.” (The 3rd stanza of the Marines Hymn.) On behalf of her sisters in the Women Marines Association, I offer sincere sympathy to the Semper Fidelis, Mary Broussard, WMA National Chaplain.
Thank you, Lucille, for the pleasure and honor of knowing and working with you. Thank you, also, for your dedication and hard work on behalf of the Pinellas County Veterans Council, the veterans of Florida, and the Women Marines. Until we meet again.
It has been an honor to serve your family. We have had a relationship with Pinellas Co. Veterans Council for many years and some of her acquaintances are ours. We are proud to care for someone who has selflessly given some of herself for others her whole life. It is by her example that we strive to duplicate. Thank you for allowing us to share this special moment with you and her friends. Veterans Funeral Care
