Lucy you lived a wonderful life. You were so much more than a friend, you were family. We spent many times riding and talking about many things like family, antiques and life. I know the greatest things in your life was family.
When I would come to visit her she would always ask about my husband and son. (Even on our last visit) I will never forget what she always would ask," How's handsome?" She was talking about my son.
You will always be in my heart Lucy. Sorry I wasn't there in the end , but there is not an end , soon we shall see each other in heaven.
Adam, I am sorry for your lose. You were the apple of Grandma's eye. I am so sorry for the lose of your Dad. He was always in her thoughts whenever we were together. She was very concerned about him.
Lucy I love you with all my heart. The last visit we had together on the 28 of November we talked, I know you were hurting about Lee. I know there was a reunion at the pearly gates on Wednesday.
To Lucy's sister's and brother please know that I have been blessed to have known her. I am blessed to have met each of you.
God Bless Love Always

Lucy always enjoyed every moment of her life. Her greatest love was her family. You never visited Lucy that you were not made to feel welcome. You were always greeted with a warm smile and kiss on the cheek .. God Bless you Lucy!
