Phillip and Lucille visited us in Arizona back in the 60’s and 70’s. Phillip who was my dads brother looked very much like him. Our kids thought it was their grandpa. What a great and full life Lucille had. Our condolences to the family.

I wanted to send my condolences to the family of Lucille Christianson. She was a very good friend of my grandfather Murvel Waite and a very special lady. She made my grandfather smile again after my grandmother passed away in a way I had never seen. Such a special woman and so sorry for your loss.
So sorry for your loss. I knew Lucille for a number of years and she was always a pleasure to interact with. Friendly and feisty. My thoughts are with her family. Sue Rowe MD
