To Lucille's son, William and the rest of her family. Your mom, Lucille, helped to take care of our mom at the nursing home in Charleston. She was so wonderful to our mom with her sweet and caring ways. We never worried about mom when Lucille was with her. She will live in our hearts and memories forever. We are indebted to her always. We truly loved her. May G-d give you all the inner strength to go through your sad loss and may the memories you have of her serve as a blessing to you all.

To the Hankerson Family. I am sorry to hear of your loss. You had a wonderful mother, and grandmother. I know you will miss her very much. I met your mother through Sis. Juanita Harrison. And we became friends. I missed her as well. But I know she is in the hands of God. Weeping may endure for a night, but joy will come in the morning. Be of good courage, and the Lord will strengthen your heart.
