Nancy, just now seeing where Mrs. Roberts went to be with the Lord. We had almost 24 years knowing her and what a pleasure and blessing she was to us. Her visits were always so special and we had some really good laughs together. God bless you and all your family, The wonderful hope of knowing you will be with her again is such a blessing! Lover, Teresa and Doyle Edwards

Dear Nancy and family,
I am not sure you remember me, but your mom and my aunt, Peggy Tolbert, shared a room at Lewis-Gale several months ago. Both Peggy and I are so heartbroken for you. You both touched our hearts. Your mom was such a very sweet and lovely lady. You could not have been a better daughter...always there for her. You both were blessed to have one another, and I know you will miss her terribly. May God wrap you in His loving arms and give you the comfort and peace as...

Nancy, I'm so sorry for your loss. Lucille has been such a big part of our family get togethers for so long. I will miss her. I always looked forward to her pound cake, stories, and all her questions. She always had an interest in everything, I think that was what kept her young. I will remember her with great fondness. We lost a treasure with her passing. Love and sympathy, Laura and Doug

Lucille was a very special lady. She brought immense joy and laughter with her everywhere she went. As the months and years pass I hope all those who were blessed by knowing her are able to smile as you recall the memories that you made with her. She will be missed. Love, Tom, Karen & family
