Don, Debbie, Denise and families,
I don't think I can begin to say what I feel about "Aunt Lucy". From a child I have grown up with her and though I haven't been able to see her as often as I would like, I have tried since her recent illness. Please know just how many people's lives she has touched over the years. My parents, mine and my children. We will miss her very much. I somehow like to think that she is looking down on everyone with her parents, sisters, brothers and Allen at her side. Our prayers are with you.

Dear Dell family,
I'm so sorry to hear of the passing of Mrs. Dell. I have many fond memories of her growing up, she was such a warm person and made everyone feel so at home when visiting. Although it has been years since I have seen her whenever I pass her home a smile comes across my face thinking of her.
With deepest sympathy,

Don't weep at my grave
For I am not there
I've a date with a butterfly
To dance in the air
I'll be singing in the sunshine
Wild and free
Playing tag with the wind
While I'm waiting for thee
Mother we will miss and love you.
You have touched our hearts in many ways.
May the lord open his arms and leas you to peace.
Always and Forever
Denise

We here in Texas are deeply saddened by the passing of Aunt Lucy. My entire childhood memories are filled with many memories of Aunt Lucy. Her baking, her jokes, her singing.....Santa Lucia was one of her favorites. You will not be forgotten.
Godspeed Aunt Lucy......You no longer hurt.
