Chuck, Cheryl, Faye, Kay and family, On behalf of the entire Minnick family I want to offer you our sympathy and prayers in the passing of a truly lovely lady. My parents, C.V. Minnick and Mary Jean Minnick were good friends of the Lamers and they played golf together regularly. As a youngster growing up with Chuck Lamer in Junction City, KS I spent a lot of time at the Lamer’s apartment at the Lamer Hotel and Lucille and Bus were wonderful hosts and parents. Lucille always was kind and generous and made many snacks for us during those days. As others have commented, she always had a smile and a kind word for everyone. She was a “treasure” and will be truly missed. John Minnick
So sorry to hear about your mom. I know you will miss her. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

Kay . . . our prayers go out to you and your family. It’s so hard to lose a mother, no matter her age. My mother was 96 and my brother remarked, “It’s so sudden.” I remember you from high school and remember meeting your mother who was a gracious hostess in her home. God bless you all.
Dear Kay and Family, I was just informed about your Mom and wanted to let you know that I am thinking and praying for you and your family. Your Mom was just the best. Always made me feel at ease when I came to the HOTEL to pick you up, on occasion. Your parents were just great people and leaders in Junction City. I think your Mom and Barbara Weir are probably talking over what great lives they had together up in heaven. We missed you at the 45th reunion and really, really, want to see you at the 50th. Please keep in touch and if you are near State College, PA please come and stay. As always your classmate and friend, BOB

I remember your Mother fondly and how much fun she was when our girl scout troop went to Washingon, D.C. and also the many times we spent in your home and stayed all night. I especially remnember prom night of our junior year and the slumber party your parents let you have. She was a special person and will be and sending my love. Judy
Greetings from First Presbyterian Church. We have been praying for you through this time of grief and adjustment. I have kept the church up to date, and many of them have great stories to tell about Lucille. She had many friends here. May God bless you.
