Lucy and her family were friends and neighbors of mine in Everett. She was a great gal, very sociable and outgoing. I have many fond memories.
I was shocked and saddened when I came across Lucy’s obituary in the newspaper.
My heart goes out to her husband and her two sisters, Pat and Jan, whom I’ve known since we were kids.
Please accept my deepest sympathy at this difficult time.
