To the Novak Family-

My deepest sympathy-I knew Lucy thru

the Wellness House Support Group. I

am a member of that group and have

Cancer also. Lucy was always a bright,cheery,perky person. She always came dressed from the tip of her toes to the top of her head and was a joy to be around. We will miss her and her smiling face. God bless you all!

Dear Ken, Heidi, Brian and Al,



I was so sorry to hearing of Lucille's passing. I worked with her at Columbus East School for a few years and always knew her to be a brave and friendly woman. She was very proud of all of you. May God grant you His peace during this difficult time.

God Bless You All-
