NOTE: The night before her daughter Pam passed away, in a conference room at Riverside Hospital, in Columbus, Ohio, Lucille was agonizing the decision to turn off Pam's life support, when in front of cousin Stuart Haley, and her friends (including her hairdresser) from Bucyrus she recounted that on the Monday night prior, she had gotten up for bed and felt she needed to check on Pam. Seeing that Pam was sleeping soundly, Lucille said that she returned to her room, and for some reason she felt it necessary to look out the window. According to Lucille, she saw a girl, maybe 9 or 10, standing in the settling mist, and the "she was wearing her hair like I did when I was a child, and wore a cotton dress like Mother and Dad clothed us in." Lucille said that she opened the window, and called to the girl, but that the girl turned and walked into the mist. She looked at Stu and said - not asking, but saying - "You know who that girl was, Stuart." And I responded without a thought, that it was (her sister) "Mary Joan." Lucille looked at me and said "you're right, she's come for Pam." That was when Lucille made the decision to take Pam off life support. I told this as part of her eulogy.
