I have nothing but Love and Respect for this angel of a woman. My mother (Janet Jaggers) and Edward were cousins..I was fortunate to visit DC many times in my youth and Lucy and Edward always treated me like one of their own. I feel so Blessed to have many wonderful memories from phone conversations and visits over the years. My deepest condolences to my cousins! May she RIP and know my prayers are flowing!
With Much Love,
Kim and family
