So sorry for your loss. Lou always made me smile and I have such fond memories of her from our time in Kinston and later years when we got to visit. Thinking of her family and sending hugs.

Dear Uncle Ray and Cousins,
Aunt Lucy was very special to my sisters and me. I remember her most fondly during those days at Pop's pool in Plainview and how she looked out for us. I posted a few old pictures I thought you might like. Please know we are so sad in her passing but wish you all peace in the certainty she is home with God and her parents. -Tom Kiley

Stephen & Michael, my thoughts and prayers are with you as you go through this difficult time. I have such wonderful memories of our time together in Kinston. Lou and Ray were such great neighbors, and Mike and Ron just adored the two of you. (I did too). Lou saved Ron many a spanking by slipping him back over the fence when he would run away and get into your house and the candy jar. Please know we still love you. Joyce Bowen (Greenville, NC)

My dear sister Lucy was always a sweet and loving big sister. Growing up in the Bronx, we slept three in a bed, Margie and Lucy at the head, and I at the foot. She was my Maid of Honor at our wedding and was a loving aunt to my children. She was my friend as well as my sister. Lucy and Ray were so wonderful to me when my husband Bill was sick. We stayed close even though distance often separated us. When we both retired to New Port Richey. FL, we shared many happy times and much laughter. I love her and will miss her greatly.
Your loving sister,
Dolores

My Aunt Lucy was one of a kind. When I was a child, we lived together in the Fusco family home in the Bronx. It was there that she first made me feel special and loved, and that love was a constant throughout my life. Although she is gone, that love will be with me always. We send our dear Uncle Ray and our cousins our love and hugs at this difficult time. Now let flights of angels sing her to her rest.
With our love,
Barbara and Tom Kiley
