We had a good visit with Lucile. We believe she did recognize Mom and cried when they made eye contact. Lucile then talked about Clarence being gone. Another time she said, "All in one car, and all in another car." And she chuckled. We are sure she was referring to the times we took family vacations together with two loaded station wagons. We went to Ocean City, MD on the east coast and Copper Harbor, MI.
Mom and Mary had a good visit. Mary definitely was shocked to see Mom and after catching her breath, she said, "Where have you been? I thought I would never see you again!"
While Mom and Mary were talking, Lucile suddenly asked, "Is Catherine here?" She recognized her voice. Obviously she has memories that come and go.
On the way home, Mom went over and over it, repeating who she had seen that day, so she could write it in her diary, which she tries to keep every day.
I was glad I made the effort, as they all three seemed to enjoy it.

Thanks for the post and for escorting mom for the visit...had not had an update on either Lucile or Mary for a long while. I'm sure mom enjoyed it.
So nice of you to take her over there, Judy. Sounds like they all enjoyed the "reunion". I'll bet she was really "pumped up" on the way home.
Such sweet stories of long time friends.
This is awesome, Judy. Beaming.
Reminds me of a card I saw once that said "We'll be friends til we are old & senile, then we'll be new friends again!" Thanks for the pictures.
Crystal--I've heard that saying also. It's a good one.
I remember both those ladies very well. Very sweet memories for them with each other. Judy, thanks for putting up such a sweet post.
