Visitation will be from 9-10am, Saturday, with a Funeral Service at 10am, Saturday, January 12, 2013 at Whitney & Murphy Funeral Home, 4800 E. Indian School Road, Phoenix. Interment will follow at Greenwood Memory Lawn Cemetery.
I would like to express my deepest condolences to your family. I hope you find comfort from God’s word the bible during this time of grief. For he is near to those broken at heart. Ps 34:17,18 Also, note Jesus’ words of comfort spoken to Martha, who had just lost her brother, at John 11:23-25, “Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise. Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”Jesus said to her: “I am the resurrection and the life. He that exercises faith in me, even though he dies, will come to life.”
I just learned of this and was deeply saddened. Lucienne and I worked for many years together at first Joske’s, then Dillard’s at Metrocenter. She was at my wedding and was a good and true friend.
God Rest Her Precious Soul.
