I will miss Mrs. Hobbs. She loved the Lord and her family. She was also the best dressed from head to toe with those classic suits and heels.I remember our years at First Baptist where she was very passionate about singing and serving the Lord. I can hear her singing now"I have a testimony."God has now gained one of the best praisers!

Dear Lucille Hobbs' Family,
I offer our condolences for your great loss. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning." Psalm 30:5
I met Lucille in 2002, when she was the principal of a Trotwood elementary school. I will miss her, her beautiful smile, and her enthusiastic praising the Lord at Phillips Temple Church. I will cherish all the times that she and I looked at one another in awe of the Lord. Be blessed!
Warm Regards,
Min. James and Pamela Riggins' Family
