Greg, I am thinking of you and your family during this sad time of your mother's passing. She will never be far from your thoughts. A day rarely passes without thoughts of my mother. How lucky we are to have had time with someone who loved us, unconditionally.
I had the privilege of Lucy living with us in our home for 6 months and enjoyed every bit of having her with us. Greg doted on her and took care of her every need and watched her like a hawk and kept her well. They decorated our yard with stones, over saw our new flooring and Lucy kept Greg fit, too by taking walks around the neighborhood when she felt well enough.
I watched Hallmark movies with her and sat back listening to her family stories. I also enjoyed how she could keep her son in line when he needed it. She told me Greg was just like Harold, so she knew I had my hands full! But, my favorite stories were her love of her father. Oh, how she adored him; he spoiled her rotten! (Of course, she loved her whole family, but this was a nice growing up story.) So, I told Greg, your mother is in a Heaven - no doubt about it, that precious, good soul woman; and I know she is happy to be with the Lord and Harold, but I think there was a close tie as to who got the first hug --- her daddy or Harold!!
I thank Lucy for raising my loving husband, I will keep my love with her in my heart and miss her every day. - Elizabeth
Lucy will always be remembered for her vibrant love for the Lord and her family.
I'm so sad to know Miss Lucy is no longer here. She was a precious woman that I always enjoyed talking to. I'm honored to have known her.
