My wife Linda and I have met and known Lucy's daughter Mary and her son-in-law Richie for over 30 years. Throughout this time we got to know Lucy as well. We all shared several occasions with Lucy, including outdoor BBQ's and outdoor concerts. Lucy was a wonderful human being and extremely kind to everyone. She will be truly missed by everyone who had the pleasure of knowing her.
