I met Lucy in 1980. She contracted my company to clean her home. "You're the best of the worst" That is a day I will never forget. She made an impression that to this day crosses my mind. Her wit, sense of humor, and manner all contribute. Sometimes in life we meet people outside of our family and circle of friends that we take too immediately. I count Lucy as one of those people in my life.
my condolences to her family, and may she rest in peace.
