I wanted to send my deepest sympathies out to Lucy and her family. I had the honor of working with Mary and getting to know a lot about her. I was sad to find out that she passed while I was on vacation and wished I could have been at her side during this transition. I will miss her sweetness, laughter, her smile and the special times we were together. She was a beautiful woman and I will miss her deeply. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Lucy. May God bless you and your family during this time and always. Heather Kwasnick, Social Worker
