Mother Lucille Smith
1930-11-11 1987-07-12
Her Last Words: " It's been a joy being your mother, you've been the best children a mother could have had, and I hope you've enjoyed having me as your mother. But I hear the trumpet sounding and I'm ready to answer my call. I have fought long and hard for my Lord and through it all I have kept true to him. Do be good children and go on with your lives"
