Wonderful Aunt and Godmother, So many great memories over the years. I will miss all our long talks, she would fill me in on all her children and grandchildren,you were her heart.
We have been friends and co-workers for a very long time – I will miss her gentle ways, long conversations, and our silly times.She loved to go out and have lunch and we had fun! She loved and was proud of her children and grandchildren. They loved and took care of her. May God bless all of them.God Bless Lucille Frances.

My condoences to the McSherry family. I worked with Lucille at Hamden High School. We had a lot of fun and a lot of great conversations about life in general. Lucille was a wonderful lady and will be missed by her friends.
To The McSherry’s, Geri, I can still see your mom sitting on the lawn chair by the front door, I still remember your dad driving us to school in the VW bug, I still remember Joe with his dutchboy haircut at age 6 and Tommy driving his motorcycle up the street wearing his leather jacket with .Thailand. embroidered on the back…so many years have passed. I am truly sorry I missed your mom’s wake. She is happy in heaven with your siblings and your dad and you now have another angel to look over all of you. I suppose there may be a Colony St in the next life and if so we’ll meet there again. My mom Fran and I give you all our sympathies in connection with the passing of this wonderful person.
