She Touched So Many in So Many Ways
I came to know Ms. Lucy through my friend, Blaine Brown, and spent many very special times in Atglen in the '80s. She was a model of strength and courage...a person who knew the answers to life's biggest challenges were, at the end of the day, pretty simple if you kept your faith and used common sense. She radiated warmth, caring, and love, and it's nice to think back and reflect on that, along with the memories of many wonderful Sunday dinners.
Miss Phyllis, Dee and
Miss Phyllis, Dee and Family:
We are so very sorry for your loss. God bless you and your family.
Miss Lucy was a woman who
Miss Lucy was a woman who never said a harsh word about anybody. I can remember going to her house anytime, day or night, that the first question she would ask was "Have you eaten?" She would leave nobody leave the house without feeding them. There's been many a times that I've been treated as a son, not as a friend of a son. Hope that her time spent in heaven will be enjoyable as it was for those who knew her here on earth. May God bless you and give you the same care that you gave everyone who came in touch with you here. We will all keep you in our hearts so that you will always be with us. I'll always love you.
