Tyler,
Beth (Ipock), my sister, and I grew up down the block on Rhem, and we were always happy to see Lucy out and about with your mother. We would often see them together and "catch up" at the grocery store or sometimes at Country Biscuit. They were both lovely people for whom the love will always remain.

Tyler, It is very hard to say good-by to someone you love. My daughter, Debbie Scott, and Lucy were really good friends for a number of years. We have always loved Lucy and your mother. I just pray that God will comfort you and your family during this difficult time.

Tyler,
I have known Lucy and your mom since I was little and lived on Spencer Avenue. Your mom was my 4th grade teacher and my favorite teacher in the world. It is funny how paths cross beacuse I was at Bayview when Ms. Virginia was admitted to the rehab and when I came to Universal, Lucy was part of the family here too. The neat part is that Lucy always remembered me. She always called me Lisa Morton because she remembered my maiden name or she called me Lisa Baker because she remembered my oldest brother's name was Baker. Last year, on Christmas Day, she had gotten a cell phone and she called me to say hello and it made my day!! She was so excited to have her own cell phone. Every once in a while she would call me here at work to say hello and to see how I was doing. I will truly miss her, but I know she is as happy as can be because she is finally back with her mom! Take peace in that.

Tyler and Charlene, I had the pleasure of knowing Lucy and your mother. Lucy was always a pleasure to be around her. She always called me "Tana". She was such a blessing to me and many other people. Take comfort in knowing that she was loved by many and will be missed by many.

Tyler and Charlene, I was very saddened to hear of Lucy's passing and deeply regret not getting over to Rex to see her. I am certain she and your Mother are together and that alone makes me happy; she did love her Mom! Thank you for sharing Lucy with me over the last several years and know that there is nothng but good memories of Ms. Lucy.

Tyler, I remember visiting with you and Lucy many years ago with my mother. We had many good times. For some reason milkshakes come to my mind when I think of you and those rocket shaped glasses we would shake the milk and Icecream in.Hope my memories are not too far off base. Didn't your dad work for Maola? It was a very long time ago. I believe that being around Lucy was one of the reasons I went into nursing. I remember when your Dad had surgery for a brain tumor.I've thought of you all often and happy memories come to mind--so-- remember all the good times. Would love to hear where you are these days. Take care. Love, Betty Jo Pierce/aka Jo Schuchardt

Lucy was my special lady. She and I met 34 years ago and we became close friends. We dated almost every week until she had to move to Cary. She was a sweetheart and fun to be with. My heart is very sad at losing her, but I know that she is now in a better place.

Lucy was such a special lady. I knew her mother and know the two of them were so close, and that she missed Virginia very much. They can be together again now.
