LUCILLE MARIA MURPHY

How delightful Lucy was, from the first day meeting at St. Jeromes, and all her life. She was fervently dedicated to her family and hoped for her sons to walk with the Lord and know Him. I will always miss Lucy and can remember her voice, her movements like walking, her laughter, her smile. Missing her now!

I doubt if anything I share here can possibly top the many heartfelt thoughts and fine tributes about Lucy that keep pouring in. I had the wonderful good fortune (as did many of other alumnus of our great St. Bernard High School Playa del Rey, CA Class of 1969) to see Lucy at our 40th Class Reunion in August, 2009. To God's joy, he called a great one back home. To rest of us, we deeply feel the lost. My very best thoughts and prayers for Lucy and also to her family and many friends.

Words cant express the deep loss we feel as Lucy has gone home to be with the Lord. She was a delight to know and so easy to love. She will be missed by our family here on earth until we see her again in the heavens. Our prayers are with Kelly and family.
Much Love,
Steve, Pam and Ryan Hatch

My friend Lucy. I only knew Lucy about the last 15 years of her life. Our friendship began when she started going to the church that I went to. She gave me a book called intercessory prayer by Dutch Sheets and said she hoped that one day we would be able to pray for our children together. Our friendship did develop around prayer and bible study..however we began to spend more time together when she asked Grace the woman she assisted in painting murals if I could help with the job they were...

Priscilla told me of Lucy's passing. I will remember her as always having a smile on her face and a kind word for everyone. I always felt better after being in her company.

I was so saddened to hear about Lucy's passing. I enjoyed talking to her at our St. Bernard's 40th class reunion. She was just the same as I remembered from high school. Her beautiful smile could make anyone feel at easy. It was as if you were her very best friend. My heart goes out to her family and they are in my thoughts and prayers.

I so remember the Barden/Geising household. And Lucy -- a radiant smile as bright as her eyes. Like Lucy, the Barden/Geising was a one-of-a-kind!
Laughter throughout the house. Noise, lots of beautiful noise and a bustling of life everyday.

I think they were as saintly a family as I ever had met.

God bless you and thank you Lord for giving us such a radiant soul to brighten our lives.

Eternal rest, grant unto them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light...

I always loved to see Lucy, she could greet a person with so much joy. She always left me feeling happy to know her.
More than anything else, I will always remember Lucy for how she would love on my daughter. She always would take time to say and do something wonderful for Sadie, and I as Sadie's father loved her for that. Thank you Lucy, we miss you. I can hardly wait to get to know you in your perfected body. The one we did know seemed so perfect already.
