Dear Maxson family,
Years ago I wrote to Lucile to ask for family information as I was researching the Samuel Smut Thomas family. She was so kind to give me all types of information, and we stayed in touch for several years. I appreciate all she shared with me, and I am sorry to hear of her passing. Please know she will not be forgotten.
