Tonight I went to the visitation of my Pastor's wife Lucy who passed away on Monday. Tomorrow will be her funeral. I am so glad I got to meet her. Like the pastor told me tonight. She loved people! There were so many people there tonight. You could tell she was a well liked lady. I had to wait in line for almost an hour to view her body.
The pastor was standing close by and talking to everyone. I told him, "Why did this happen?"
He said, " I don't know."
I said, " She was so nice to me. Always a hug and saying she was praying for me."
He said, " She loved people. Look here at all these people." He waved his hand out over the pews. Full house. Flowers everywhere.
I have seen pastors wife's help their husbands some but I have never seen anyone that done as much as her. She led the choir in singing. Sometimes she sang a song alone. Sometimes the pastor sang with her. She done all the announcements. She done whatever needed to be done until it was time for him to preach.
One time when I went to church I hadn't been for awhile because I had been sick. In the middle of announcing all the things that was going to be happening she looks at me over the audience and says, " Are you okay?"
I said, " Are you talking to me? She nodded. I said," I am fine."
She said," I been praying for you ." I have never been one to like attention drawn to me and everyone turn around and look at me. But she made me feel like she really cared.
We are going to all miss her. The pastor most of all. She was always the center of that church. What are they going to do without her?
RIP Lucy......
