Always the kindest man...he always had a joke and a smile. Preston and Lois were two of the sweetest people I have ever known. I hope that the family finds comfort in knowing how loved their parents were. My mom called to tell me yesterday, so sorry I won't be able to make it to the viewing.

I grew up around the corner from the Lacy's (on Mockingbird). What a wonderful family, such nice neighbors and good people. I am sorry to hear of Mr. Lacy's passing. He was always quick with a wave and a smile.
