Another year of missing you has passed. Sadly for us, you now have your great-grandson, Keegan Thomas with you. The only comfort is that we know he is in good hands. Continue to keep watch over all of us and give us guidance. Until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

We recently heard the song "A Bushel and a Peck" and could still hear your voice singing it - what a happy memory! Some say the highest tribute to those who have moved on is gratitude. So THANK YOU very much for everything! We love you and miss you and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

February 24, 2021

Although 6 long years have passed since you physically left us, I must say you are very much alive in spirit in your children and grandchildren! How many times have we said "you sound just like mom!"? and when we look in the mirror, who is looking back at us? LOL! Love you, Mom, God's blessings upon you until we meet again. xxoo

We were just talking about our friend Mrs Lucey the other day. "Her Twins " from Borgia are now freshmen in High School. She was a wonderful friend and her kindness is remembered.

Happy 85th Birthday, Mom.
God finally gave you YOUR winning lottery numbers:
02 16 20 15
Words cannot express our loss. We know you are with us always in spirit, and you live on in each of your children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. May we all live as well as you and measure up to your example. May you live in eternal peace and joy in heaven with God our Father, Dad, John, and all our family, friends, and dogs that have gone before us. Until we meet again, watch over all of us and bless us - & if you can, let us know the winning lottery numbers!
Love you more! xxoo

To the Family of Mrs. Lucey: We just saw the notice in the Church Bulletin and are very sad. Our sincerest condolences on your loss. We met your Mom, Grandma, Sister, Aunt and Friend while walking to school at St Francis Borgia. She would be on the walk home from daily Mass and we would chat. My sons Adored her and she made our mornings! We would walk over and say hi and play in her yard in the summer. She referred to the boys as "my twins". She was a blessing in our life and we looked forward to the morning meetings on Panama. We have missed her in the neighborhood. We are glad she is now at Peace. She adored her family and we loved the updates on everyone and all the happenings of the grandchildren. Our prayers are with you all, and we will treasure our very fond memories of Mrs. Lucey - She was one in a million!!!

I will always remember loving Saturday mornings growing up. Driving in to Hiawatha Park for Irish Dance, and then Grandma Lucey's for Irish sausage and the Irish hour on the radio afterwards. I will never forget the smell of her kitchen, and Irish music always playing. So thankful that my four children got to know and love their Great Grandma Lucey, aka Nana. They will never forget her "Johnny Smith" on the bottoms of their feet. Love and miss you already, Nana! May you rest in peace.
