A Tribute

What can you say about a woman who was a daughter, sister, wife, friend, mother, grandmother and great grandmother, and who did it all with excellence and a great sense of humor? Doris Lucas (Matt's grandmother on his father's side) has truly left a legacy. She raised four boys and worked in a time when that was not the thing to do. Though she hid in closets when they were being particularly bad, she also never missed a ball game or special event her boys had. She had a marraige that most of us aspire to. Her husband being her best friend. Grandchildren and great grandchildren whom she spoiled wonderfully and who will never forget her toy closet. She believed that sugar never hurt anyone, spoiling was relative, and coffee was never to be drunk in anything less than a china cup. We will all miss her, but her legacy will continue to live on....a refrigerator that never is empty of coke, bacon and peanut butter balls.
