On behalf of my mom, Genevieve (VeeVee Dubois Bourque) and myself, we wish to express our sympathy on the loss of Lyra. We both loved her very much and enjoyed seeing her when she would come to Louisiana with her friends, and with Gene in the past. So very sorry that I was not able to bring Mom, but please know that all of you are in our thoughts and prayers as you lay her to rest.
