I will miss Mother Lyons smiles and hugs every Sunday, her encouraging words, and her homemade chicken and dumplings. Although we will miss her earthly presence, her spirit and what I've learned from her will be with me always.

To The Lyons Family:
My heart felt condolences go out to the family of Sis. Rosetta Lyons. No words we can say will comfort you, but try to take comfort in the thoughts that God knew each before they were in the womb, He knew when and how He would call them home. Even while standing like a faithful soldier on the door post for the Lord, God saw Sis. Lyons willingness to serve and he needed to add her to his round table. She’s in a better place resting among the stars. She has touched the lives of so many people and filled those lives with happiness and joy for many years. She may be gone in body, but her spirit, and memories are alive in our hearts and minds forever. God knew the time and the hour of Sis Lyons departure, he knew she was ready for the picking. So he chose her as a miracle and a blessing on earth and in Heaven. May the Grace of God comfort you and strengthen you during these trying times.

Matthew 14:27 But Jesus immediately said to them: "Take courage! It is I. Don't be afraid".
Peter then ask Jesus to allow him to walk on the stormy sea. Jesus said "COME".
Keep your focus on Jesus Christ. He can and will help the Lyons family walk through this stormy time of life.

May I offer my family's deepest sympathies over this moment of tremendous loss being felt by the entire Lyon Family.
Please take comfort in your faith that the Holy Father has simply called Rosetta Home to His warm embrace as her reward for her life here on earth. Also, he thought enough about Rosetta to reward her with the honor of preparing the way for each of you on your future journey to His side. This is an honor to be celebrated in your Loved One's name.
