My heart was saddened when I learned of Aunt Lucy's passing. She was one of my favorite aunts of all time. I know she is dancing around in heaven with all her mama & daddy and all of her beloved brothers and sisters especially my mama Kate. Love to all her kids. Pat

"So sorry for you loss friend. Here is a poem I wanted to share."
I cried when you passed away. I still cry today. Although I loved you dearly, I couldn't make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke my heart to prove to me that He only takes the best.
