To the Nichols Family,
My prayers are with each and everyone of you during your time of sorrow. I worked with Lucy at Westville and I remember her training me for different jobs in the GSC complex. Lucy was a person who always had a smile and was fun to be around. She will be greatly missed. Hold on to all of your precious memories, and know that weeping may endure for a night but joy will come in the morning.
