Please accept my sincere sympathy for the loss of your mother/grandmother. She was a wonderful inspiration for many of us in our journey as members of the Catholic Women's League of Canada. My first contact with Lucille was through the arthritis campaigns where she brought her enthusiasm and encouragement to all of us as we worked towards a common goal. My thoughts and prayers are with you at this time. Sincerely Sincerely, Anne Plaunt

Sincere Condolences to Denise/Bob and the Cullen family: Although the end of your Mother’s life was not entirely unexpected, we know from experience that it is nonetheless difficult to accept and come to terms with. I recall having pleasant conversation with your Mother at special occasions and from conversations/anecdotes that you have shared, your Mother led a full life and was well loved. The obituary highlights the life of a woman of faith as well as her many talents and accomplishments in service to the Catholic community at large. No doubt her legacy will live on through her children and their families.

The CWL of St John Fisher (SJF) Parish in Bramalea fondly remembers Lucille as their fourth council President from 1967 to 1969. I was very blessed to welcome her to our 35th anniversary celebration and reunion in 1997. She was so inspiring and full of joy as she mingled, nurtured and encouraged our executive officers and members and all present. She had laboriously gone through her files and pulled out numerous newspaper clippings, reports and priceless pictures of those early days of our council and brought them with her to present to our then past- president / historian Jennie Fox. I recall her doing a similar file search when Betty Ann Brown Davidson became national CWL president and then strategizing with her in one of our lengthily phone conversations about how she would get these boxes delivered to her . Each year subsequent to the event she would seek me out at the provincial and national conventions and always genuinely asked how we were doing at St John Fisher and where was I on my CWL journey? You always felt the warmth and sincerity of her inquiry and enjoyed her presence with you and hearing about her latest CWL project or game. I have no doubt that her celebration of life tomorrow will be a wonderful testimony of a life well lived. Peace and Prayers for all of Lucille Cullen’s extended family as you adjust to life without her. She will be missed by so many. Shirley Christo Toronto Diocesan President The Catholic Women’s League of Canada On behalf of the executive and members of St John Fisher CWL Council Bramalea, Ontario

Over the many years I have attended national and provincial CWL conventions I. always looked forward to visiting with Lucille. Her bright smile and genuine warmth were extended to everyone she met and she was a wonderful ambassador for the Legue. She always found time to visit with members and had the knack of making you feel that you had her undivided attention. I know that she looked for those who were attending for the first time to encourage them on their League journey. She will be missed and has certainly earned her place in heaven.

To the Cullen Family, Tullio and I offer our sincere sympathy on the loss of Lucille. She will be missed by so many. Lucille and I developed a wonderful friendship over the years as we worked on various CWL workshops and projects together. She shared her knowledge and love of the League through the many books which she wrote. Many members benefited from her wealth of information. Although I will personally miss our visits and conversations, I know she is with Jim and they are receiving their well-deserved reward. Linda
