[AT] Lucille Monson

[Ronald L. Cook]

Mike,
	That is some very sad news.  I only visited with Lucille once and that 
was because Cecil gave me his cell phone number, but she had the phone, 
not Cecil.  However, we had a very pleasant visit.  Thanks for the notice.
	I see the obituary mentions Jack, but leaves off his last name.  I got 
a chuckle out of that.
