My deepest prayers and condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Suggs, a "shining light" if ever there was one. Truly one of the most remarkable, genuine, and funny, women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. I believe she's making God smile in her new home. "Until We Meet Again, Mrs. Suggs!"

Lucille was a fine 'lady.' She was so kind, funny with always a encouraging word for all. Her sons were blessed by God to have her for a Mom. I'll always remember her with respect and fondness. May her beautiful soul be with God until we meet her again.

Lucille Brooks Suggs was a close friend of our family. She was the godmother to my eldest brother. As such my sisters and I always called her "Aunt Lucille". Her gracious and loving heart will be missed by many. May God bless your family and provide the strength you may need to carry you through this difficult time.
