Fremont, NE Thursday, March 3, 2011 Lucille was one of the kindest women I have ever met. I came to know her through her son Kelly, and I feel privileged to have known them both. Just like her son she will be greatly missed. We all lost on of the really good ones on Tuesday. I take comfort in knowing that Kelly and his mother and father are now united again. In some small way the world was a better place because of them. My prayers go out to the family of Lucille. The have all inherited her kindness and being around them the short time I was has created a memory that when I look back upon a smile always comes to my face.Matthew & Susan Nelson
