Bob, We are so very sorry that we can't be there for you today. Just know that we are here if you ever need us. Lucy was loved by both of us so very much. She was a great friend that can never be replaced. She loved life and she enjoyed her friends to the fullest. She loved you with all her heart and soul. We will always remember the "road trip" that we took and had so much fun. Keep in touch with us my friend. Just remember that we love you also just as much as we did Lucy. My prayers and thoughts are with you today.

Bob I’m just without words . I know how hard it is to loose a spouse & in grief not many words are remembered. Just please know & understand you’re not alone in this. Myself & many others of her friends are here for you. To the rest of the family I’m praying for everyone for peace & comfort the kind of peace that’s beyond all understanding.  I join you all in knowing that not a day shall pass that I won’t miss her.  She & I have had a many late night talks. I am already missing those phone calls . I find peace in knowing that my precious friend is no longer suffering.  Love to you all!  Mary
