    Hello Fred and family. I was saddened to read of Lucy’s passing. I worked with her at Hafner’s and even visited her in New Hampshire back when. I have many memories of being at your home in Huron and the “green brie” we tried to consume on one occasion. I loved her stories about boating through the locks and one of the Boxers you had. It amazed me how she could pull just the right paper out of a pile on her desk…and the piles weren’t small! I will always remember her fondly. My sincere condolences.

    Dear Fred and family,
    I am so sorry for your loss of sweet Lucy — Wife, Mom, Grandmother, Friend…
    Lucy was the dearest friend and neighbor I will ever have had the privilege of knowing and sharing life with! Life changes moved us in different directions, but, I have thought of her so often and have so missed my dear next door friend! … our hours of crafting , shopping, laughing, praying for one another, chatting about our families, our children and grandchildren, sharing many of our life experiences –the joys and the sorrows! I will look forward to our reunion in heaven!
    Blessings to all of you…

    I just started a new job last week and work every Saturday so not able to be there for the Memorial Service (:
