Lucy and I were friends during a strange and tender time in our lives. It's been years since we even spoke, but I am heartbroken at the news of her passing. I offer my most sincere love and compassion to those who, like myself, have been graced with the privilege of knowing her, and are now burdened with her beautiful memory.

Steve and Diana,

I used to think that the offering one's “thoughts and prayers” was a worn-out cliché. As I have grown older, I've come to appreciate the sincerity and blessing of those words. Mine are certainly with you!

I am so very sorry that you have suffered such a huge loss. I only hope that you can find comfort in your many memories and in the love and support of family and friends. Sincerely, Phyllis Childress
