Not sure what to say?

Luggum was a true image of a 'sweet-heart'. Always cheerful, laughing and an inspiration on how to live a good life. She made all those around her better, including me.

I was so shocked to hear this past Sunday night when I got a phone call from a friend that Luggum had passed away.

Canfield Co. in Iron Gate and then I would often be a guest in her home. I loved her, her Dad & Mom and shared many different times there with them in their home in Clifton Forge. I will never forget that Luggum & I both quit our...

I knew Luggum many years ago before children and adulthood took us different ways. I shared her sorrow when she lost beloved parents and I share your sorrow at her passing. If ever a woman was a Christian, it is Luggum. God speed. Rejoice knowing that she lived her entire life preparing for eternity.
