Lucy was an amazing women, and I will miss visiting her. Maybe in heaven she and I can play piano-flute duets together again?

Lucy was always happy and willing to talk to you about anything. My kids remember her and have great memories of her from Ellen's house. I use to love running into her after everyone moved. She always had such kind words for everyone. She found the good in everyone. I loved Lucy! May she Rest In Peace.
Unfortunately I will not be able to attend the services due to prior commitment but please know my thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you say good bye to a great lady!
