Janet, and Roy too, I was thinking of your dear Mother the other day, and you too. My darling Mother (Alice Whitaker) loved your Mother. She just glowed when she spoke about her. Two beautiful ladies obviously! Susan W. Gaskill, 25 Jan 2021

To... Janice and Roy, and
David and Brenda...and family,
Wayne and I send our heartfelt sympathy to each of you for surely you will be remiss without your dear Mother. Lucy was forever gentle and gracious, a beautiful Christian lady who showed kindness to all around her. My dear Mother has always thought the world of your lovely Mother. They have both enjoyed a wonderful friendship together. When we loose our last parent it is even more of an emptiness as we no longer are a child, for a Mother knows us like no other. But so does our Heavenly Father who has Lucy, and who has your hearts, too.
