My sister, Ginette, and I always made a point to visit Mrs. Dalpe whenever we were in Stamford. We were children when we met the Dalpe family in Colombia - so we were never able to call her Lucille, even though she insisted. Our visits were special for us. We would sit at the kitchen table and talk and laugh as she filled us with goodies. She was a link to our childhood and she will be missed. A part of her will always be with me.

I was very lucky to have Lucille as a friend and neighbor for many years. She was strong willed and feisty and I admired her so.

My Lady! And what a lady she was! I had many year's to enjoy her, her stories and her love! She will always be in my heart and my memories That was one strong willed and sweet lady that will be missed by so many and most definitely me! I still want her ice cream cake recipe . My heart is with you all ! Thanking God for the memories that we shared!
