"Theresa Macklin Working with Lucy at the Paul Robeson Library Rutgers Camden was a delight. There are no words to express the impact she had on all of us. May you rest in peace."
"My sincere condolences on the passing of this astounding and wonderous young lady. As a toddler, she would smell and pick the flowers, then in a flash to be lost in the flight of a butterfly to observe as it flew and she wandered behind it looking at it intently, studying its movements and the path of its journey. Not to be outdone by the chasing of a kitty cat, in the hopes of catching it and getting the opportunity to possibly have it snuggle and cuddle with her. As she grew the thought of not being able to rescue a tadpole or a slug that had been baked in the blistering summer heat, hurt her soul. That is who she was, a kind, compassionate soul with the essence of character unmatched in many people today. Now my dear sweet girl follow the flight of your butterflies and soar with them. Be the guardian angel from above to those whom you cherish and love dearly. You will be missed Miss Lucy "my little punkin head". May your soul rest in peace. "
"I am so sorry for your loss. Lucy was one of the nicest girls I have ever met. She was polite and kind. A little story for you that makes me laugh when I think of her. During girl scouts she was always one of the quieter girls until we took her camping! There was a bug and she screamed so loudly I couldn?t believe that sound came from her. You are all in my prayers. "
"I've worked with Lucy since she was a freshman at Rutgers. She was very shy and quiet. It was amazing watching her grow into the young woman she was. Lucy was always willing to help and jump in and help. Her doodles always made me smile. She loved to bring in veggies from her garden or baked goods to share with us at the library. Lucy you will be missed .Thank you for the smiles and the memories."
