What a great woman Lucy was. Have a lot of great memories attending church with her and some of the best times we had at Myrtle Beach. And who can forget that wonderful Strawberry Cake that she was so famous for making. I bet she can whip one up for Jesus in heaven…He will love it. I know that the Temple Family in heaven is having a great time. Love and Prayers to all of you. I know your hurt and pain but I also know that God gives us strength.
Love
Pam Powers & Tom
