Lucy will be missed by all the souls she touched. She was a dear Mother and
wonderful Grandmother. She was also a great friend to many. When visiting Virginia Beach I was lucky enough to share time with her and she always had delicious homemade dishes that she insisted you ate and always had a fun story to tell. She had kind words to say about everyone and never spoke a harsh word about anyone or anything. Lucy
you are a beautiful woman and will be missed and I pray we can all be more like you. We love you.
