Lucy, you were always a smiling face I looked forward to seeing at my brother Lonny’s 4th of July gathering every year. Barb’s Family was always so welcoming. I’ll miss you Lucy!!

When my husband and I moved in across the hall from her in an apartment complex. Lucy right away made us feel right at home. She was like a second mother to me. When my husband passed, she comforted me. A year after Ken’s passing, I got a puppy. Lucy made Phillip bring over so that she could meet my puppy. I loved her life stories. She made me laugh. She had a style of storytelling that no one will ever duplicate. I miss her cheering the Packers, Brewers and the Cubs.
