My thoughts and prayers are with you all. Lisa, Donald and Robert, I feel like I know the three of you quite well, even though I never met you. Lucy talked about you all the time when I worked with her @Maple. Her and I continued to keep in contact with cards and e-mails. I will miss her and her beautiful personality. She always kept me laughing even in the worst of times. I will pray for peace and comfort for all the family, knowing Lucy is in a better place for God said "Come unto me and I will give you rest".
May God Bless you and give you peace, comfort and serenity.
