This is an exceedingly difficult time for your family as everyone has come together to celebrate the wonderful and loving memories and life of Lucille Lackhan.<br>Susan introduced her mother to our family through FaceTime video, and each time on video with our mother Elvira Reynolds, the room would always become a bubble of joy filled with love, excitement, and open arms.

I would like to express my heartfelt condolences to everyone in the Lackhan family - to Naresh, Nalini, Dylan, Ethan, Nicholas, Brandon, Sebastian, Haley, Susan, Sally & Charlene. Aunty Lucy, you will certainly be missed. You had a spunk and enthusiasm for life. You loved your family fiercely, especially all of your Grandchildren. You were the greatest Grandma to all of your grand kids. My fondest memory of you is when we went over to Naresh & Nalini’s one day, there was music playing. Dylan, Levy, and myself all held your hands and started dancing with you. That was a fun time we shared and you were a good sport. Today, when I looked at the video, it was joyous to see you happy, smiling and dancing. You will keep on being happy, smiling and dancing in heaven. May God bless you Aunty Lucy and welcome you home.Neshaa & Family (Nalini’s sister)
