May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

I knew Lucy for what only seems like a short time as I had the pleasure of working with her at Ridgewood Gardens. I'll never forget all the crazy times we had there-the good and the bad. Lucy was a good person with a strong will and a loving heart. She was an inspiration to me as she handled the trials in her life with determination and success. I will truly miss her and I hope her family will find comfort during this sad time. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
With deepest sympathy,
