Golly havent seen Lucy since I quit working at boys ranch. She was my boss for 8 years. I really admired her and thought slot of her. Lol we had s few run ins but she was my boss, so it was expected from time to time. She was married to a great baker and I loved her boys in fact I believe I still have some movies of them playing football when little kids . I bought and still have a bunch of Superman comic books from them. How times flies. God bless her boys. God rest the soul of my friend and boss from days gone by 1960s KAY HOLLINGER abbott [email protected]

Lucy was a very strong and loving woman who melted to butter when Kristopher was around her. She was the matriarch of the family and she will be missed every single day by those whose life she touched.

Thank You Lucy for all your kindness to me SO many years ago. I learned so very much from you... your clam style and grace inspired me. Pizza and a bunch of boys moved a lot of mail!
God Bless You, praying for your family.
