I do not know you personally. I learned about Lucy's illness from Judy Mroz, a parishioner at St. Jude's. She gave me a prayer card for Lucy and I have been praying for her ever since. She sent me a prayer card from her funeral and I am continuing to pray for all of you. I put her name in the intention book at a parish and in our weekly intentions at the convent. I don't think there is any pain as great as losing a child, especially one so young and beautiful. She is keeping God company and praying for all of us now.He is holding Lucy close to His heart and you as well.

I don't know your family, but I know osteosarcoma, as my own teenage daughter battled it too (successfully, knock wood.) Lucy's beautiful photo just stopped me as I was turning the pages of the paper. I'm so sorry this terrible disease robbed you of such a lovely girl. My thoughts are with your family.
