To my mama Lucy. I love you with all my heart. You stood by my side and loved me just like I was your daughter. You gave me a home when I needed one. You loved me when I needed love the most. Some may not have wanted me acknowledged in her life but she loved me and treated me like her own. I forgive those that choose to exclude me from her passing. I love you mama Lucy and I know without a dought we will meet again in heaven. With the love you and papa Clyde always showed me I knew I was loved. I thank you God for sending my sweet mama Lucy to love and raise me at that horrible time in my life when I needed them so much. They loved me no matter what. I loved them as well.
