To Lucy and Family, We were so sorry to hear of your recent loss from Uncle John. It is so hard to accept it when we lose someone so young and wonderful as Lucy. We hope you know your family is praying for you during this most difficult time. May God bring you comfort and peace for tomorrow.

Lucy's Family,
I am Glenn's aunt. I never had the opportunity to know Lucy well, but have associated with her at family functions. I was shocked and very saddened to read of her passing. I know Glenn thought the world of her and always will remember his last words to me were: "Go upstairs in our bedroom and see the sampler you made for us on our wedding. We will be married four years on Thursday." He passed away two days after that. I know he was very proud of Lucy and loved her very much. God bless her family and know that Lucy is at peace.
Sincerely,
Lenore Schmoyer
Hellertown, PA

To Lucy's Mom, Brother and Sisters,
I only met Lucy in Oct of 2004. She was working in Renee's Jewelery Store. I would stop by and visit with her whenever I saw her car there. We had talked about me working for her this summer in her store. Each time I was with Lucy her warm smile and generous heart were always present. She gave great hugs and I will miss them. You all are in my thoughts and prayers. May God give you the strength and courage you will need in the days, weeks and months to follow. Please contact me if you'd like to talk.
(((((((Many hugs)))))))
