Tributes
"So Sorry to have heard Lucy past away. I worked with her until she retired from the nursing home. She was a very nice lady. Knew she loved to dance and so she is with Don dancing up a storm. She knows she is missed by all of you. You have my heartfelt sympathies. Linda Minton"
"Our sympathy to the family may God comfort you at this time of sorrow From Gary &Rhonda"
"We are very sorry for your loss. We enjoyed Lucy at group respite and the last time we saw her on December 14th she was dancing to country music with a big grin. Today I am sure the smile is huge as she dances with Jesus. May you feel God's love and peace as you prepare to celebrate her life on earth and her heavenly homecoming. Respite Angels"
