My sincerest condolences to the all the family. Growing up she was like a second mother to my brother, sister and myself. It was always a special time when we could visit with the Greers and I have only good memories of those times. Many laughs and joyous times were shared by all even when Terri and I were trapped in their basement by a snake that came from the ravine. I'm not sure whose idea it was to dress Terri as an Old Man and me as an Old Woman one Halloween but I'm sure Miss Lucy had a Big hand in it! I can still hear her laugh.
Our Prayers and best wishes go out to Edward, Terri and Eddie.

We will all miss her,
Andy Street
