Lu had the most beautiful way of caring for friends like one of her own family. I consider myself extremely fortunate to have known and loved her. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to the entire family.
Prayers of peace and the comfort of knowing she’s in a better place. Take care and God bless.
On behalf of the Bertagni Children (Sue, Monsignor Ted, Nancy, Steve, Tina and Jody, we send our deepest condolences. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
My sweet, beautiful Aunt Lucille, my Godmother at Baptism. I will always remember you as “my favorite” aunt, my role model, my mom’s little sister. I will forever remember your voice from the phone call you made to me on Aug 22. Our Lord arranged that to happen and our laughter and joy will be forever in my mind. Thank you for being my beautiful Aunt. May you rest in the love of the Lord and await my presence one day when we meet again in the Kingdom.
Your niece, Janet Marie

Take care of yourselves.

Condolences, Dave and Nancy. It looks like our moms may have walked through the gates about the same time. They passed the same day with the same disease and now are being attended to by Heafey.. Blessings to you and your family!
