Dear Pete, Ellen and Jiah...our entire family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Lucy's smile, her laugh and her funny (and many time irreverent:)) comments will always be very special memories of my childhood/life. I cannot help but smile when thinking of her! She had a "sparkle" about her...that she passed on to those around her. A life well lived!!! This is the time for you to hold close your memories also!

Will see you on Saturday.
