I love you Mrs Lucy. You were such a sweet and gracious person and you will be missed.
My dearest, sweetest mother we miss you so much.
I’m so sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. I met her a couple of months ago as she was shopping @ my walgreens in the late evening hours. I was helping her with something, and she found out I had young children, and was so interested in them. I could tell what a loving mothergrandmother she was. My deepest sympathies for your tragic loss.
Sweet, sweet Lucy, you were such a beautiful and loving person. The two children that you were blessed with are amazing and will carry on to honor their beautiful mother until they are united with you again.
I’m sure she was a wonderful person. It’s my loss for not knowing her before now. Unfortunately I’m finding alot of my distant relatives are deceased. Another relative from the family just passed away last month. I would love to hear from anyone in the family via my email address. So sorry for your loss.
Julie & Shawn
