I went to high school with Lucy,and roomed with her for a time during college at the University of Kentucky. Lucy was smart, funny, and talented beyond words. We were barn rats in high school, and she was a talented equestrian, as well. Lucy adored her family, and her pride in her children was so evident. My condelences to her family on this enormous loss. I know that the impact that she had on your lives will last forever, and that she will stay in your hearts.
