To live in the hearts of those left behind is no to die.

Lucy was a joy, fun to be with and so very friendly to everyone.  I first knew Lucy in Kindergarten at First Baptist Church and always enjoyed seeing her at our reunions. She will be greatly missed.

I only knew you for a short time but am thankful for the oppurtunity to have met such a strong person. As a nurse, there are just some patients that stick out in our minds, and you Lucy....sure did. Thank you for your advice and caring heart. See you again someday.

My sympathy to the family.  Lucy Parks was a very important person to me.  Many years back, Lucy and Paula taught me choir at First Baptist Church.  My first memories of her were when I was about 4.  That would be 50 years ago. I remember her smile and her being very tall.  Over the years the smile never changed, neither did her love for life and her love for her family.  Our loss is heaven's gain.  With much sympathy.

All of us who were classmates of Lucy count it a real privilege to have known her and to be called her friend. Her enthusiasm for life and her upbeat personality were a pleasure to all who were in her presence. Pat and I extend our heartfelt condolences to each member of the family, and to her special friends, Nancy and Shem Davis. All of you were such wonderful caretakers and thanks to each of you for helping Lucy along on her road to heaven.  By the way, heaven is loving her smile!

Much love, 
Gayle

Lucy was a hoot!! Our neighborhood won't be the same without her. Lucy and ""Parks"" were the first people to welcome us to the neighborhood. We spent several evenings on their driveway talking. Our prayers and sympathy to the family.

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to Lucy's family for their untimely loss of this beautiful, unique spirit. 

Lucy and Paula were dear friends to me, especially in the summers, in the 50's when we all lived on Black Duck Bay, Missouri Street.  What fun we had, and I felt so lucky that this fun family included me in so many good times.  I'm happy to see from comments made now that Lucy maintained her very special spirit and wonderful sense of fun throughout her life.  

Sending you love and wishing you comfort,
Lynn Miller Jaeger

My family & I met Lucy & Parks almost 5 years ago when we moved into the house next door to them, they both would always smile & have a kind word to say when they would see you, I will greatly appreciate and treasure our small conversations  the smile Lucy always had and the light that shined in her eyes, Lucy was truly a angel while her time here on earth was cut short, we were truly blessed by knowing her. Our prayers go out to her family.

Kim, Dina, and Carl-
I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was a wonderful person. Even though I haven't seen you all in years, I will always remember the great summers spent at Garner all together and your mom's warm and wonderful smile.
Our prayers are with you all.

The Erickson Family

We are so sorry for your loss.  Our thoughts and prayers are with the family.

I first met Lucy back in the 1970's.  I had not seen her in a while, but will always remember her contageous smile and laugh.  Even during difficult times, she always had a smile and a laugh.  She will not be forgotten.

Dena and family,Lucy was the neghbor on Trailwood that made you smile and made you laugh. She was always so happy and friendly, loved by all. For years we looked forward to driving down the street because we knew she and ""Parks"" would be in the yard waving! You are all in our prayers! Bless You

Deepest sympathy to the family.  I got to know Lucy through Bayer's Corporate Engineering Department.  She was always so pleasant. I know she will leave a void in her Engineering Family of friends.

Carl and dear family and friends, I wish you much comfort and peace during this difficult time. All of you are in my deepest thoughts and prayers! John Percy

We will always treasure the many summers our families spent together at Garner.  Your mom's love of fun and adventure and her ready laugh will be missed. You are in our thoughts and prayers today.

Kimberly,Carl and Dina,
Sorry for the loss of your mother. I know that she is in a better place today and is not suffering any pain.
I will remember your mom most from those camping trips we all took as kids to Garner State Park. 
May the peace of the Lord be with you all.

Jay Barr

Paula, God Bless you and Lucy's family as you venture thru the days ahead.  My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Carl, you are in our thoughts and prayers.  I know what a wonderful Mother she is because I know her son.

Kimberly, Dina, and Carl,
I am so very sorry about your precious mother! Please know that you will be in my thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. I will be unable to attend the visitation and service, but I will be praying for you all.  I loved your mother and I love you all!

Lucy was a dear friend and high school classmate. Her friendship, sense of humor and beautiful smile will always be remembered. I will forever remember our conversation and big hug at the last class reunion in May. May God bless her family and friends now and in the days ahead. Unfortunately, I must be out of the area and will be unable to attend the services.

What a fighter! She was so brave and so special.  I will miss her so much.  She always made me laugh.
Bless her heart.

To Kim and all her Family:
I was very sorry to hear about your Mom.  Im sure she is in a much better place and you will be reunited with her one day.  God Bless You and your family!

I am so sorry to hear of Lucy's passing. Don & I are out of town and very sad that I cannot be there for her funeral.  I, like so many, will never forget that beautiful smile of hers. It has been a few years since I last saw Lucy, but you don't forget a classmate who was truly beautiful inside and out. I am so glad that God gave me the privilege of knowing her.
My sympathy and prayers for her family.
      God's comfort & peace,
      Carolyn Dittman Baker

There are some things that never, ever leave us.  A mother's love, a sister's support, a grandmother's adoration and the friendship of a wonderful person.  Lucy will be with all of us in spirit and in heart forever.  
May she be your Guardian Angel to watch over you always. I celebrate her life.

My wife, Carole, and I are so saddened the hear that Lucy died this past Sunday. We extend our condolences to her family over the loss of their loved one. We last saw Lucy at the 50th Anniversary of the R.E. Lee Class of 1960 this past May. Lucy was the ""spark"" of our reunion committee. She attended even though she was not feeling well. What a trouper this person with the biggest smile in all Baytown was to all who knew her. I remember being in a class with her in our sophomore year at Lee in the fall of 1957. Her smile the last time I saw her was just as wide as on that day so long ago. God Bless her family and all her friends who will miss her greatly.

My deepest sympathies to Lucy's family.  I always remember her beautiful bright smile.

My thoughts and prayers from my heart go out to Lucy's family.  I am so saddened by the news from afar of Lucy's passing.  Lucy and I were Sisters-In-Law in the 60's.  We had a lot of fun times together!!  We met during Hurricane Carla in Sept. 1961 when we were in the Prince big House in Highlands,TX...There were 20 of us there.  In the house for 3 1/2 days. We all made a great party and bonding time out of it. Lucky for me, another Ex-Sister in Law of ours called me to give me the news.  God Bless Lucy's children.  Lucy and I were friends when each one of you were born.  God be with you, comfort you, and Bless You.  Lucy is an Angel now to watch and guide her family and friends.

Lucy will be missed by all the neighbors, she was such a wonderful person with a beautiful smile.  
Words can never help ease the loss of a loved one but God needed another angel to keep Parks company. So look up and watch the clouds float by and know one of them is your mother looking down and watching you and your loved ones.

Grandaughter of Rubye Mangum Washburn, and daughter of Barbara Ann Washburn Gillespie--
So sorry to hear of her death.  She seemed to have a beauty inside and out and I am sure she will be missed by you all.

To Carl, Dina and Kimberly -- and all of Lucy's family -- I am deeply sorry for your loss. Lucy personified happiness and optimism, and the joy she brought will be terribly missed. That she raised a family who cared for and loved her SO MUCH is testament to what a wonderful woman she was and always will be. My thoughts and prayers are with you. And I know you have an angel watching over you now. With love...

So sorry to hear of Lucy's passing.  I remember her easy smile and laughter in school.  I haven't seen her many years but she was one of those people that you always remember.  May God be with you.  Carolyn

Dear Carl, My heart and thoughts are with you and your family at this difficult time.

Lucy was a sweet, fun-loving and good-hearted Lee classmate. My deepest sympathies are extended to her family.  May God comfort you with His love.  Buddy Loper

You put a bright light into our lives from the very first time we met you, and that has continued and grown across all these years. Your goodness and kindness will always be remembered and cherished.

Lucy was a very special friend from high school.  She always kept us laughing.  Although we didn't see each other much through the years, I often thought of her and how many good memories we had.

It was wonderful to have known Lucy for so many years.  She will be missed.

Lucy was one of a kind.  I am so glad I got to spend time with her at our reunion.  I saw her a couple of times at the hospital and thought for sure she would beat this.  I am sure she left a little piece of herself in each of her family members.  She will be missed.

My thoughts and prayers go out to the Parks family.  Mrs. Parks was one of our customers at our business and she was always so pleasant to work with.  I'm glad that I had the pleasure of getting to know her.

Lucy, 
I can't believe you're gone. My heart is broken. You were such a beautiful person.  I hope we all can learn from you. Your children are a wonderful reflection of the soul and spirit that you have given us, and I truly thank you for that.

Loving you always,

John Beavers

Lucy is one of the first folks who helped me get started when I first went to work at Bayer several years ago.  I was gone for a few years, recently returned, and looked forward to making Lucy's acquaintance again.  I was shocked and disappointed to discover her absence, and sorry I won't get to enjoy her as a work associate again.

We will miss Lucy's wonderful smile and her zest for life.  From now on whenever we look at that full moon shining down on Trinity Bay we will remember the fun times we spent with Lucy and Nancy looking at the stars!  Heaven has a new star today and she will shine brightly forever.

Granny Lu we will always love you and miss u very much and always will . You made a difference in everyones life and apprishiate everything you ever did for us we love you G Lu

Lucy was always ""up"" and even in her difficult times her vibrant personality and sense of humor shown.  We will miss her so much, but she probably needed to catch up with ""Parks"". I am sure those two are stirring up the afterlife in a fashion we'd be proud.  
Connie & Bob

Lucy, you had such a kind and generous soul. We could all take a lesson from you on living life with joy and passion. My heart goes out to your family. You will be truly missed.

Lucy Parks will always be a inspiration in our lives.  She was a special friend that will never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing your love!
