  5. I had the privilege to meet Lucy at the Wee Care Day Care many years ago. She watched over my little boy just like she would her own. In our house she was Miss Lucy and her sister Marla was “gurlfriend” that’s what my so Justin Greeno called her.
    After that no matter where I saw Lucy she always had a beautiful smile and a friendly hello.
    May God be with and comfort her loved ones
