I extend my condolences for your loss. At these difficult times it’s good to know we have someone who cares for us, and offers comfort and hope for the future. I find relief in knowing God’s promise of death being no more and we have the hope of a ressurection. How joyful that time will be when we see our loved ones again.

We met Lamar and Lucy when they became our neighbors a few years back. We immediately became good friends and began to go places together. Our interests were common and they were good honest people. They got us to join the Soggy Bottom Blue Grass Bunch as well as East Thonotosassa Baptist Church. As our friendship grew and we went camping and fishing together I told Lucy that she was my adopted sister that I never had. Lucy was a very special person and her faith in god was strong and so we know that she is in a better place. We will always remember the special times that we had with her and she will really be missed. Lucy don’t worry about Lamar, all of us will be around you just get the rest that you need and we will all see you again someday. We love you very much , Benney and Eileen
