Dear Larry and Family, We are so very sorry for your incredible loss. Bob and I are grateful for getting to know her joyful spirit through Larry and as co workers at the Historical Society.
Larry, please know we are thinking of you and your family. May you have moments to smile when family gathers to reminisce and celebrate sweet Lucy.
my deepest condolences. Lucy was a wonderful soul. She was a great friend to me while at Goodwill and after she retired. I loved her dearly and will always remember her kindness towards me.
I am so sorry to hear this. Lucy was such a sweet lady, I met Lucy when I first started to work at Goodwill. I always enjoyed her company and enjoyed the lunches we had after she retired.
I am remembering the trips from Columbus to home and back when she and Barb and Lucy would ride in my car. They were at Columbus University, and I was close at OSU. Good times and interesting conservation on those trips. My sincere condolences to Larry and family.
Kim, Mike and family;
My condolences on your tremendous loss.
I wish to express my sincere condolences to Larry and family members for their loss. I enjoyed working with Lucy at Goodwill Industries back in the day. She was always very professional and well respected.
Dear Larry and family,
Our deepest sympathy in your loss of Lucy. I always enjoyed catching up at the hair salon when we happened to be there at the same time. Knew she was sick but this was too sudden after diagnosis. Holding all of you up in prayer. May you remember all the wonderful times even thru your pain. Tim and Jan Burnison
