Tributes & Memories
In Lu's 102 years of life she touched the hearts of many. Those who knew Lu were blessed. I am one of the blessed ones, I was married to Lu's youngest son, Doug. Lu treated me like a daughter and I learned how to be a better person by being around her. Lu's heart was pure and kind and she was patient and forgiving. I believe 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 is exactly how Lu lived her life and why Lu touched the hearts of everyone she knew. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no records of wrong. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails-love never ends." Lu, I will love you forever and a day, Sandy
