We loved your mom. She was a great lady, full of energy ( This is certainly where you got it from, Karen) and so sweet and dear. We loved watching her get around on our Italy trip, keeping up and surpassing most of us. She was a great cook and baker (another gift you inherited from her, Karen). She will be truly missed by so many. We know she is in the arms of her beloved Lord. She was a great example of her Catholic faith. We share your sorrow and wish we could have been there to celebrate her life and death with you. Love, Dennis and Judy

Karen, Linda & Anthony,
When we look back at our childhood, it seem that our parents would always be there, we were so young and enjoyed our parents. My mom (Mary) and your mom were so close and great friends, it seems like friends don't stay together like they did years ago. Your mom was a wonderful women, I will never forget all the visit's we shared. " May Lucy Rest in the arms of the Lord."

Lucy was a joy to be with; she prayed with us and joined our various celebrations for many years. She enjoyed a good conversation and had strong opinions and a really good memory of how "things used to be!" We loved her jokes and her stories and all of us here in Solon will remember her and miss her. Our love and prayers are with her family at this time.
