Sherry, my condolences to you in the lost of your mother both of you have been family to me and my family for many years and I am really lost for words. Lucy lived a good life with many accomplishments, best person one could have and enjoy being around. I am grateful to her for being there for my daughter and granddaughter when I couldn't which brought us even closer. I am thankful for the time god aloud me to have with her for we know she was only on loan to us. You were always the wise one and in everything you did or went through, you never complained. You will be truly missed and I know God has given you your wings and you are looking down waiting for the rest of us. I love you so much and I will miss you dearly, R.I.H LuLu, I will always remember how you were always willing to help others.
Sherry look to the hills for which cometh your help, God will see you through.
