To the Lancaster family  Our families became close friends when you moved to Creedmoor . What a sweet family. You were loving neighbors and long life friend. Little did I know when I was a teenager that you were going to be my neighbors for 40 years of my married life. Emily Lancaster was one of the happiest most caring people I will ever know. I loved her smile and always felt encouraged anytime I engaged in conversation with her. She always excepted you for who you were and saw the best in every situation. We could change the world if we all had just a little Emily Lancaster in our hearts. Mr. Lancaster you are a giant of a man in my book. You both loved your family and friends unconditionally and did so many good things for others. Love from my family to yours forever. Our hearts are Heavy at this time , but full of joy when we think of Mrs.Lancaster. David and I will keep you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.

So, sorry to hear about such a lovely woman. She always had a cheerful and jovial way about her that made you want to keep talking and find out more. I enjoyed so much talking to her when she came to pick up her grandchildren and I came to pick up my son - we would park right beside each other everyday so we could catch up!!! Mrs. Lancaster will be truly missed with her gentle words and kind spirit....

Mrs. Lancaster was one of the sweetest ladies I've ever met. Always praising God and praying for her family and friend's. She was the kind of mother and grandmother every person should have. Always happy loving and caring for others. She is greatly missed.
