So very shocked to learn of Lucie’s passing. She once told me she wanted to be buried next to her dad if that were possible. That was her wishes but I don’t know if any of the family knows this. If any of the family has questions, please contact me. Bonnie Rusfeldt 715-829-3863 Sorry for your loss and may God give you the strength to get through this.
