If ever anyone could have ever been an angel, it would've been my Grandma. God definitely had a purpose for her and through her He proved His existence. I know that she is in Heaven free of pain, and suffering. No more hospitals or hospital food and no more medicines. I will miss her and I feel truly blessed that she was my Grandma.

I have so many wonderful memories of my sister, Lucy. I'll always remember the joy of our visit this past summer when we celebrated her birthday together - she was so happy and it was such a wonderful time. Lucy surely will wear a crown in heaven - a testament to her ministry of caring and love while she was with us. I thank the Lord for her presence in my life - we are all better for having known her.
I will miss you Lucy. I love you. Martha

I loved Aunt Lucy and I know she is seated right at the head of God's table now - actually she is probably making sure everyone else is seated and has something to eat before she sits - that was my aunt lucy. Always serving others. God bless her and those she loved. She will be missed.

Lucy was a special lady, as she became a second mom to me. I will always cherish her friendship, her smile and the times we talked for hours and colored.
