The love of a grandmother is everlasting and in my heart an eternal flame burns bright with the happiness of knowing she is in peace.

FOR LUCY

Saying goodbye is never easy;
it's the hardest thing to do.
But, I just wanted you to know,
DEAR, that I'll be missing you!
This is given to you in honor -
of all the things we shared
And, I also wanted you to know,
DEAR, how much I really cared!
God looked down on your body,
so tired from hanging on,
From a life that was overwhelming
you and said
DEAR, You must come home!
He took away the air you breathed and found a place that's best.
Of all the wonderful things in life, his final gift - to us all -
DEAR ---
Is a peaceful place to rest.

Dear Mary & family: I was very sorry to hear of your mother's passing. Mary, we often talked about our mothers being the same age, how special there were, and how truly blessed we were to have them. Ms Lucy never met a stranger and had the ability to make everyone feel like 'family'. She shared her gift for life with everyone she met. She'll be deeply missed.

We were hoping to take Lucy on another trip to Epcot...to China especially, since that seemed to be her favorite spot. Now we know that she is in a much more wonderful place. If we are as good as she was, we will see her there one day.
She was beautiful inside and out. We will miss her.

Once upon a memory someone wiped away a tear, Held me close and loved me.

Dear Family, We were sad to read this morning of Lucy's passing. She was the most beautiful person. So graceful! Always so kind and no matter what she always wanted to do it herself. We always offered her a wheel chair from the bus to the door...she said"no thank you i'd rather walk".
Thank You for sharing her with us at Senior Care of Brevard! We have missed her since she left us but now we know she is with our Lord and Savior, we know she is running a NEW race, one that she has WON!!!!
