Trevor, Jordan and I are very sorry for the family. We wish we knew of her passing long before now. We wished we could have respectfully honored her death and attend her funeral. We loved her very much. She was our family, too. We are sending prayers to David, Dell, John, Andrew and all of Lucy's family. Our hearts are broken. She's gone way too soon.

Andy and family,

Lucy was the best. Always the optimist and always saw the best in others.

Never had a argument with her in the 2 years she worked for me.

This is my third posting so if the other 2 get in, they just add emphasis to her accolades.

Deepest sympathy,

Richard Freeman
