To the family of Jessie Lucas, she will be forever in our hearts. Her nickname "China Doll" came from my late mother Lucille Stokes. Loving memories always. Faye Stokes Barrow and family.

Music, when soft voices die
Music, when soft voices die,
Vibrates in the memory—
Odours, when sweet violets sicken,
Live within the sense they quicken.
Rose leaves, when the rose is dead,
Are heaped for the beloved's bed;
And so thy thoughts, when thou art gone,
Love itself shall slumber on.

To Freddy and the family of Mrs. Jessie Pearl "China" Lucas: It was an honor to know China. She taught lessons about grace, beauty, and to persevere in the face of adversity as she did every day. In this season of grief hold your memories close. I pray each day will bring a smile or maybe even laughter when you think of her and all that she held dear. My condolences to your family, my thoughts and prayers are with you. May the Lord bring you Peace.

Jessie we just hugged Sunday at church. Our family is devastated by the loss of a true friend, a second mother to my son Shaquille, and a FMBC family member. Losing Joe was very hard for not only me, but for Barbara because they served side by side as Ushers. May GOD bless you and keep you with love Brother Lavar.

Warm summer sun,
Shine kindly here,
Warm southern wind,
Blow softly here.

Lie light, lie light.
Good night, dear heart,
Good night, good night.
