To the Lemons family: The loss of your Mother is like a radiant star disappearing from the nighttime sky, and words of sympathy seem so small to encompass so great a loss....She cast a brilliant light, not only on you but also on all those who were blessed enough to know her. And someone that special will never be forgotten. Her memory will always shine on. Mrs. Lemons was a very special friend of mine. I met her and Mr. George at Belk. I worked there for many years. It was always a pleasure to see them come in the door. Always a smile on their faces and a big hug for me. Of course, that made my day. Mr. George was always so kind and patient as he waited for for his sweet wife to browse and shop. It really broke my heart when he passed. I loved them both dearly. I visited Mrs. Lemons as my health permitted. On my last visit, about three weeks ago, even though she was very sick; when I walked to her bedside, she opened her eyes, called my name and had the biggest smile on her face. We talked a few minutes; I prayed for her and then she took my hand and said the most beautiful prayer for me. Mr. & Mrs. Lemons cast that brilliant light on me for sure. They will always live on in my heart! May God comfort you as only He can!
