She was one of those people you only meet a few times in a lifetime. A good caring friend. She will always be remembered for her enthusiasm for life. Hope you are still having fun.

So sad to hear of Lu's passing. I feel lucky to have previously been Lu's neighbor for several years and missed seeing her when I moved from York. As others have already said, Lu was a unique and wonderful lady and always did everything with great flourish. I will always think of her fondly and continue to be grateful for having known her.
Sincerely,
Flo Larson

I was so sorry to hear of Lu's passing. I have such great memories of her and growing up on Short Sands Beach with the whole gang. There were long beach days, various parties and great bonfires. She was always such a warm and caring person. She will be missed.
With sympathy,
Jack Biagioni

Thinking back to first meeting your mom and Chelsea. What a pair. Lu was one of a kind with tons of energy. She will always be in my thoughts

Please accept our sincere sympathy for the loss of your mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, friend... And all the many people whose lives Lu touched. She was one of the grande dames of the world and will be missed.
This is sent from Margaret, a long time member of "the group", and Jeanne C, a not so long time member. Margaret, who is 93, recently had surgery and was not able to make it to York. And Jeanne is playing nurse right now.
We will be sending something to Rivier in Lu's memory.
Love from Concord, NH

To Lu's Family:
I got to know your mom when I was Chair of the 350th York Celebration in 2002. She was a gracious and fun lady who was always first to volunteer for any task, and I valued her involvement. She is probably now the guardian angel of your family and the Head Angel of volunteers in heaven. May she rest in peace, and may you know that she was loved by everyone. Rest in peace, Lu.
Sincerely,
Shirley Harris, York
