My sincerest sympathies. I'm not sure if you remember me but I am one of the granddaughters of Grace Cutts. My father is Bob Cutts. In fact, Lucy tutored me in Math during high school. I certainly could not have made it through that class without her help. She was the kindest woman I have ever met and I know she was a cherished friend of my grandmothers. I was very sorry to hear of her passing. Your family is in my thoughts and prayers.
