What an outstanding and caring person my aunt Lu was. She was a wonderful parent and always eager to help others. I remember family picnics , Christmas, and thanksgiving celebrations at her home where the greeting always was "come early stay late!" . She was a Colorado springs original born and raised in one of the most beautiful places on earth. I will always be thankful to have her as a relative and will miss her very much...I can hardly believe she is gone. She is with Jesus now. My condolences and heart felt sorrow to my cousins and their families.

My sympathy to Luana's family. I so enjoyed my time spent knowing and working with Luana, such a great, caring person.

Dear Clark family. We are so sorry to hear about the passing of Lu. We just saw her at church a few weeks ago. We have so many memories of her and Norm's kindness when we first moved into our house across the street. (were still there) We always think of them when we put up the star at Christmas time. She will be missed. Sheryl and Randy Saine
