For those who knew her:
I hope you are one of the lucky people who got to know Lucinda April Wiseman.
Her strength, her will, her faith, her love of animals and all nature, her love of country, her comic relief, her beauty or just her smile. Knowing one of her many facets is a blessing, but knowing all of them could make your heart explode.
For those who knew her, will it be a cross-eyed cat, a photograph of a beautiful mushroom, or a lonely dog that reminds you of her?
Will it be a comedian, a vintage vehicle or the wonderful smells of a barn hall that will force you to think of her?
Would it be the hum of a tractor, the harmony in a song or the thunder of horse hooves that catches your ear and she comes to mind?
Or did someone just smile at you when you walked in the door and offer conversation that would never include the weather? A person who offered true interest in you, your life, and your loves. Would you remember Lucinda?
If at Christmas time you hear the tiny voice of Linus reciting: "And the angel said unto them, fear not, for behold I bring you tidings of great joy", will you turn and look for her?
Lucinda has battled cancer hard for one year. There was such a tremendous amount of support for her thru kindness, encouragement and prayer from all over the world, from here to Sweden, New York to Italy. A suddenly detected spread of cancer prevented many of her last goodbyes. But she knew everyone would understand. She said, "They know."
Lucinda chose to be sprinkled quietly at her favorite place. Where a flag flies at half staff and the signature sign that hangs there reads: "Heaven is a little closer at the barn". Everyone who knew her had attended service with her for this past year. She was able to witness her service during her life. Thank you to all of you. So many of you did or said just the right things…and continue to do so.
Lucinda was survived by her mother Peggy, her sister Janelle, and brother-in-law Nathan, Great Dane River, Lilly, Echo, Wyatt, Brace, Boone, Laurent, Callie, Pikeur, Romanee, Cowboy, Zack, and Frosty Steven. Preceded in death by Heart, Aubrey, Melodie, Lyrical Bend and precious more.
In honor of Lucinda the family will be concentrating efforts on Inflammatory Breast Cancer Research as it is desperately needed. Lucinda also wanted to take care of Gods creatures. If you wish to make a donation in honor of Lucinda please call: 1-800-752-5308 and donate a Kuranda bed to the Walton Animal Guild, Inc.
And to Lucinda…you loved the fleur-de-lis. Our hearts are exploding because you are our flower of life gone too soon.
To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
Sponsored by love you forever.
Peggy I got your card today and it came as a blow to my heart about Lucinda. We had no idea. We talk of all of you often. Take care my friend. Blessing to all of you.

The first time I saw Lucinda after her cancer diagnosis, I was so incredibly moved by her outlook. She told me that she would fight with everything she has, but that if her life ended tomorrow, she would be fine with it. Lucinda told me that she has lived such an incredibly blessed and full life and that she had no regrets and needed nothing more. She moved me to tears. She continues to inspire me.

I had no idea and am greatly saddened by this news. However, it's also a time to rejoice knowing there is no more pain, suffering or anything else that can cause Lucinda discomfort.
I recall meeting Lucinda in high school for the first time as she so boldly expressed her humorous side to me and the class. I instantly liked Lucinda and enjoyed her wonderful attitude which only inspired me to come out of my shell. God bless

Oh my gosh, what a shock after just hearing from Alicia a few weeks ago about her cancer returning. She fought so bravely through the breast cancer and had some real hardships in her life. She really was a ray of shineshine in hour day...she will be so very missed...

Peggy, Janelle, I am so sorry about Lucinda. I remember the times at the barn in Altamont with all her animals in toe.. She loved life and taking care of all her little animals, and her big thoroughbred.. We once tried to load in my trailer. He didn't want to go, so we didn't get him in that trailer. My memories of Lucinda all smiles. She was a wonderful lady. I read all the memorials and realize how many lives she touched all over. I will miss her! Deborah Dellinger, Southport, NC

So sorry to hear of Lucinda's passing. Somehow, I think she might have said to herself " cancer you will not win. If I die you die too". I will miss her so much. For her family, she was so greatful to have you all. Please know how much and how often she spoke of you and all your tremendous support and care- of her and the critters.
As we watch her go, those on the other side are so excited "here she comes, here she comes".

I am inexpressibly saddened by the loss of such a precious person. Lucinda was one of my angels, as I too am dealing with breast cancer. While she was a dear before, having met her as a patient at Dr. M's., once I shared my own diagnosis, not a week went by without a sweet and encouraging email from her, each one ending with, "You are strong and beautiful." It's SHE who was so incredibly strong and beautiful, and though this world is less without her, heaven is richer for her presence.
Love and prayers to her family, friends, and colleagues <3

I was so sad to hear of Lucinda's passing. I only knew her for the short time I have been Dr. McDonald's dental patient, but talking with her and seeing the slide show of her fantastic photos of nature and animals always made my day brighter and better. I wish someone would collect all her fabulous photos and publish them so that they can continue to be enjoyed. What a talented and thoughtful person she was. I will miss her.

Peggy, Janelle and family; my thoughts and prayers are with you this evening. I'm in astonishment from hearing this news; however my memory of Lucinda is her kindness and love for everyone she met. During our 4 years at Avery and in the years since, Lucinda was and still is a very strong part of our class. The ACHS Class of 1984 is missing a sister today, but she will never be forgotten.

I met Lucinda when I was in 7th grade. Not only were we in school together but we kept our horses at the same barn in Foscoe. Her horse Percy (Crystal Blue Persuasion) From her cat Nod to the horses and dogs, she was one of the most caring and loving to them. For anybody who did not know Lucinda, you missed out on a lady that made you so important, so ...well, you missed knowing one class act. I will always remember what she told me before my 1st horse show, she said "you will be scared s#@$less, but you will do great."

She was always good to me. I remember going with her in an ice storm to check on and feed the horses. She loved her animals. I was only a kid when she left here, but I ran into her when she came up and she still recognized me as I did her. She always had a smile, hug and kind word for me and the family.
