Lucy will always have a special place in my heart. Lucy and Jewell were my aunts and the best ever! They both had a huge part in the woman I became and I will always be thankful. They were there as I grew up, taking care of me and keeping me straight. I know today is the saddest day ever for the family and grief is a horrible burden this side of heaven. Without a doubt Lucy is walking the streets of gold with Ma, Pa and all the siblings that went ahead of her, especially Mother and Jewell. God Bless you all! Sending hugs and prayers, Susie.
