Luann, Mike and Theresa,
I am so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. I could not make it to the wake, as my whole family has been battling the flu this week. Please know my love and prayers are with you as you go through this time. Luann, I lost your number and cannot find a way to get in touch with you - please call me so I can be there for you. I also have something I would like to send to your family but I need an address. Again - I am so sorry I couldn't be there today. I love all of you and if there is anything I can do, please let me know. xoxo
Much love,
Heather (Paul, Victoria and Alex too)

Dear Lucy
You are my soulmate. For 13 months you have been the "Love of my Life". The times that we were together were the best of my life. Talking to you every day brought life to my soul. I will love you forever. Pat

To Lucy's family,
My name is Helen Maciolek and I and my husband Keith worked with Lucy every Thursday night at the Cornerstone shelter. She was a very kind person. We always joked that we were going to be fired from this volunteer position because we were too lenient. With her as our Primary we would always give people every benefit of the doubt. Every person there was her brother, child, friend.
She loved to pray. We asked her to join us in prayer we would be busy with our shelter obligations and she would pipe up and say "Okay, its time to pray." We taught her how to pray Liturgy of the Hours, evening prayer and we would sing and pray together every Thursday. She was so excited that her grand daughter was making her first communion, consulting me ,"what can I give her that she will have from me for ever." She decided to purchase her a children's bible and I gave her a simple blue set of rosary beads to also share with her. I hope if she hadn't bought it yet, you might do so knowing it truly was her wish, a gift from her.
Lucy spoke so highly of her family. She felt the sadness and loss at the sudden death of her brother. She enjoyed holidays when she could travel and be with all of you. I could hear it when she spoke of you. She loved to share recipes with me. I would often cook and bring in our dinner which we would divide an share with her. She would always insist on "only a little taste", but then say how we had to always work together so I could cook and feed her. Not to mention that how around 10:00 pm we would raid the office for junk food, potato chips, or candy. I probably was a bad influence on her in that regard, but we had fun. Please know that she is in my thoughts and prayers. I miss her already.
To her children, remember her love for Jesus, and our Virgin Mother. That she is now journeying to that wonderful life with them. If you need her, turn to Our Mother, Mary. She will hold you as your mother did.
Let me close with a memory. Lucy would bless herself perfectly and reverently every time we would pray saying,” May the Lord bless us ,protect us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life. She loved that blessing, that we had taught her.
She will be missed. Love to your family.

Also I tried sending this through the funeral home, but it wouldn't send. So If you received it more than once, my apology.

Lucy,
Shocked!!!!
You will be missed by many, the life of the party.
Not seeing your glowing face at the breakfast table won't be the same. Many laughs, talks, tears and your smooth dance steps, will never be forgotten.
PWP will keep your memory alive!!!!
Love,
PWP Sister
