Ms.Lucy will be greatly missed. She was one of the best neighbors who always gave a word of encouragement and always talked about serving God. She was truly one of God's angels we will cherish each moment we shared with her as we look across the street and remember the beautiful person she was we do know that she is at her heavenly home. We will continue to keep you all in our prayers.
