Peace be with you
Lucy was a beautiful kind woman. She had a heart of gold. My sincere condolences to the family.
To Auntie Lu’s entire family, I am so sorry for this enormous loss. This obituary is beautifully written. I’ve only had the pleasure of talking to Lucy about half a dozen times, but it was evident that she was a funny, fiesty and very sweet woman. I hope your memories comfort you in some way, although the pain right now I’m sure is unbearable. Please accept my deepest sympathy, love and prayers. May she rest in peace. 🙏

My deepest condolences to the family. Lucy was a wonderful woman. I was very fortunate to grow up “on the other side of the fence” from them. Spent many days over at their house. In my younger years, Lucy was like my second mom, as during the summers I spent many hours playing with Michelle, and during the school years in elementary and middle school, she would drive us to school and pick us up. She was always very welcoming, and always had that little bit of feistiness to go along with her pleasant and caring disposition. Many wonderful memories of Lucy, as well as Mike and Michelle. My prayers are with you.
