Lucia along with her late love Lyle were a big help several years ago while I was dabbling in some family history on the Jones side. Her brother Robert H. Jones was my grampa. All the Jones boys and girls come from good Welsh stock and had a certain twinkle in their eye. Lucia will not be forgotten.

Dear Treleven Family
You don't know me, but I had known your mother for years in New London. She was a lovely lady and your dad was a neat guy.
She was a very good friend of the Hospital Sisters and she did their personal books in the later years.
I notified the Sisters in Canada of your mother's passing....She is on their Prayer Board.
Our condolences.
