With long life, the Lord did indeed satisfy her. God says, I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb and so Luceille indeed lived until 100 years old. She is rejoicing with her Savior and loved one’s. Sending warm hugs to family as I know she will be missed by famiky and friends. Won’t be long until the reunion.
