Willis Van Fleet Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see. Generosity gives assistance, rather than advice. When one was hungered, you gave them meat, I was thirsty, and you gave me drink, I was a stranger you took me in. When I was cold you gave me clothes. When I was sick you visited me. Your smile with enough sunshine for the rainiest day. You will be thought of by me everyday The butterfly emerges from its silken shell- Reborn, it arises, no longer bound to earth.

Wanda JB Neal Relation to Deceased: Former Coworker Hey Lucy-Lou…I can’t believe it was you…like everyone, I am in shock, because you are a fixture in the ED. I know I haven’t worked there for awhile, but I remember the laughter you brought to the job whenever we worked together, and how I always felt so confident when you were working, because I knew things would get done, and get done right. You were a real team player in your professional life, and although I wasn’t a part of your social circle, it is evident how special you were and how much you were loved. I pray that your husband and family will take comfort in that, and while many tears will be shed down here, the joke is really on us because you will be laughing and bringing more smile to Heaven. To Lucy’s family and friends….take comfort knowing that this lovely lady is in a peaceful place, and in knowing the heavens are now a brighter place with Lucy there.. God Bless You. Safely Home I am home in Heaven dear ones: Oh, so happy and so bright! There is perfect joy and beauty in this everlasting light. All the pain and grief is over, every restless tossing passed I am now at peace forever, safely home in Heaven at last. Then you must not grieve so sorely, for I love you dearly still; try to look beyond earth shadows, Pray to trust our Father’s will There is work still waiting for you, so you must not idly stand: do it now, while life remaineth you shall rest in Jesus’ land When that work is all completed, He will gently call you Home; oh the rapture of that meeting, oh the joy to see you come!

Kathy Foote Relation to Deceased: Friend Lucille: You were one of the first people to make me feeling welcomed. Your smile could light up a room. You were always kind and caring and never met a stranger. RGH will never be the same and you are greatly missed. “If love alone could have saved you, you never would have died. A heart of gold stopped beating, two twinkling eyes closed to rest God broke our hearts to prove he only takes the best ” The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody

Judy (MacNeal) English Lucille – 50+ years of memories – I don’t know where to start! Ten years ago when I met Larry – I also reconnected with you. What a small world to find out that both Larry and I knew you – and I’ll never forget your reaction the first time you saw us together!! When you asked me about getting a job at RGH – little did I know that you would turn out to be one of the best employees to ever work in the ED. You made me so very proud. You will always have a special place in my heart, along with your Mom and Dad. We miss you so already!

JOHN BRACKEN Relation to Deceased: DEAR FRIEND NOW LUCY IN THE SKY WITH DIAMONDS, WILL SHINE FOREVER. The celebration of life, shared in the beginning, and again, in the end. Yet we forget to celebrate it, in every moment we live. Time, days, years, go on, but are we alive? Alive and do not know it, sleeping in the world and dead to the life we are to live. To celebrate all life, the sparrow who sang in the morning, and died in the night, why do we not celebrate its life? To know thyself is to know you are alive – to give, to love, to seek truth, beauty, and suffer pain. In life as it is meant to be, pain is forgotten, and strength is all that’s left to be gained in the moment by moment celebration of life. By Deborah Peabody

Bruce Albright Relation to Deceased: Old Friend It has been almost 40 years since we last met and our lives took separate paths. You will always be remembered. May god bless you and accept you into his arms. I think no matter where you stray, That I shall go with you a way. Though you may wander sweeter lands, You will not forget my hands, Nor yet the way I held my head Nor the tremulous things I said. You will still see me, small and white And smiling, in the secret night, And feel my arms about you when The day comes fluttering back again. I think, no matter where you be, You’ll hold me in your memory And keep my image there without me, By telling later loves about me. Dorothy Parker
