Soon after I met Jackie, we were invited by Lucille for dinner at her home. Lucille was warm and friendly and very protective of her daughter.
When we annouced that we planned to marry, Lucille was warm and friendly and very protective of her daughter.
We were joined in a simple ceremony by Lucille and Freda and my parents, John and Gwen. Again, Lucille was warm and friendly and oh yes, very protective of her daughter.
Often, Lucille would casually ask me, "What have you done to my kid?" I remember telling Jackie how much I loved her mother's humour. Of course Jackie quickly pointed out that in this instance she was not joking, she was just being very protective of her daughter.
It was my good fortune to have Lucille as my mother-in-law, she was open, friendly, intuitive and very protective of her daughter. I will miss her and her famous coconut cream pies.
David, my sincere condolences to you and your family for your loss.
