Love to all the Ryans in this hardest of times. When I think of her, I think of her smile and her laugh. She will be greatly missed and always loved. Aunt Lucy was always so good to me, after all I did clean the jelly jar.

I can't imagine the sadness you must be feeling from your loss. May the love of those around you help you through the days ahead.

Lucy will be greatly missed. We always enjoyed a good laugh. She told me when the time comes, she will be waiting on the other side for me with a baileys and a deck of cards. I just hope she'll help us figure out the tip when we go out to eat now!!! She made me promise not to be sad, but this will be a tough one to keep!

We'll miss you so much Lucy! Especially conversations on your red couch and hanging out on the porch in the summertime with family :). Rosie said she will miss you and your candy! Our hearts are so heavy but glad you didn't have to suffer very long. Xo
