To the family of Lucille, both Luke and I extend our sympathy to all of you. Your Mom was a wonderful lady and I know she so loved her children and grandchildren. Both she and your Dad were wonderful people and I am so thankful they were in our life. My husband Luke worked for your Dad at Rubbermaid and he always had so much respect for him. In our later years, we enjoyed the Ohio Light Opera with the two of them and also gathering with other co workers from Rubbermaid for an evening of having dinner together. The guys would often meet for a guys night out. We will both always remember both of your parents as being so kind and caring. Enjoy the memories of your Mom and I am guessing she has already found her group to play Bridge with in Heaven. Take comfort in knowing they are together again and watching over all of you. Luke and Connie Hoffa
