I did not know Mrs Lucas personally, however, I did know her son very well through the
C.L.B. where he was an excellent member, and paid the supreme price for his country. I can only believe, that she was a wonderful lady and Christian, that causes my heart to go out to the whole Lucas family at this time of sorrow
