Final Statement
My journey on this physical plane has given way to that of the world of the spirit where the light of truth and peace forever shines.
I have entered through the doors of eternity. Yet, my heart aches most for you, my loved ones.
For I leave you in this dreadful place with so much left in this life to face, and my precious loved ones who have just begun the race. It is for all my relatives, I mourn, and so many friends whom I meant to see again, but somewhere in the midst of life I have found a better friend. He has promised me: no past, no present, or future, but a greater life without beginning and without an end.
The funeral service will be 2 p.m., Saturday, Bethel SDA Church with Rev. Rod Whiteside officiating. Burial will be in Sunset Cemetery. The family will receive friends at 600 Merrimon Ave., Apt. 16 B.

To the family, may you fiond comfort in knowing that Lucy is in the hands of our Lord. I'll miss her. She was such a lady and when a few us us went to take her communion when she wasn't in church, we sit forever talking about so many things and since she knew me from the time i was a child she could always share a hint of history. Rest On Ms Lucy. Will Miss u
