    Lucy was one of the kindest, sweetest women I ever met. She was my sister-in-law and I loved her very much. She will be greatly missed.

    Ms. Lucy was one of the sweetest ladies I ever met. I met her through my daughter in law, Eleasha Milicevic, to whom she was known as “Granny”. I will always remember her smile and laughter. I know she will be greatly missed.

    I loved Lucy very much and have missed her since she had been unable to come to church and the House of Hope.

    I met Granny Harvel when Johnathon and I were freshmen in high school. There was a lengthy period of time…I’m talking years in which I practically lived with the Harvels. I stayed the night often and they always treated me like a member of the family. If I was visiting and they were having dinner…I was having dinner….if they were going out to eat…oftentimes I was going out to eat. After high school I went through several rough periods…mostly of my own making. I can’t put into words the degree to which this family has supported me. Some days I would stop by and Granny would be the only person home so I would sit and talk to her. She was always kind. She was always willing to help if she could even when I didn’t really deserve it. I look at the Harvels as my family. I love them dearly and my heart is breaking for them. There have been times in my life that I didnt have anyone to lean on but this family. I’ll never forget Granny Harvel’s kindness…her smile…and the way she she always made me feel welcome in their home.
