I send my deepest condolences to you and your family for your loss. Mother Lucille White was so kind and loving. Her legacy will live on through the many family members and friends who will forever treasure the moments and memories shared with her.

Sincere condolences to the family. Though I know simple words cannot soothe the pain of loss that you have suffered, I want you to know that prayers on your behalf have been sent to our Lord and Savior that holds the perfect balm to grant peace and comfort in difficult times. God Bless!

Mrs. White was always pleasant and kind to me while I was teaching at Butzel Middle School. She transmitted an atmosphere of calm. Her smile put everyone at ease. Mrs White was open to new ideas, and she allowed them into the school. I was happy and surprised that the student gospel choir was an activity she approved, and then she was all for an evening of gospel with the choir along with my big band performing gospel-swing tunes. That took courage to hold this type of event. The teacher talent show was also allowed, and was quite spicy with I and some other female staff members performing our version of The Spice Girls. It was hilarious, and even Mr. White had a big kick out of the whole thing. Mrs. White never seemed to loose her calm demeanor even during times of stressful situations at the school. She handled everything so well! It just seemed like Mrs. White was there to support staff and students in the best way possible. I will always remember Mrs. White as one of my favorite principals.

"Let not your heart be troubled; ye believe in God, believe also in me, in my Father's house are many mansions, if it were not so I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself: that where I am, there ye may be also." Keep looking up to Jesus is our words to the family, for God will take care of you. Continue in him so that when he appears, we may be confident and unashamed before him at his coming. With much Love and Prayer. The McKinnon Family

Mother Lucille White leaves behind a host of family and friends to treasure the moments and memories she left behind. Mother Lucille as we knew her, has left for her family a great legacy. Her love, dedication and kind acts will forever be remembered in the lives of those she touched. Whereas God has chosen to take from our midst one of our own loved ones. We regret to hear of the passing of Mother Lucille White, for we know that God has a greater plan for her and us. Also, we mourn with the family knowing that God has chosen a beautiful flower. Our earthly task will last until we die. "Be thou faithful until death, and I will give thee a crown of life." (Rev.2:10) Being supported by God's love, holiness, and spirit he will make that journey possible. To The family, we know your lost is deep, and your sorrow is great, but we want you to know that we share your sorrow, but more importantly, we recognize that this lost is Heaven's Gain. Humbly submitted The Officers and Members of Grace Temple Church of the Living God, Floral City, Fl Pastor, Larry & Cloretha McReynolds

Pastor Larry McReynolds

Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
