Lucy came into my father Paul's life when he was at his lowest. In a year and a half she made him happier then I've ever seen him. I regret that I didn't get to spend much time with her. I did spend the day with her in Florida shortly before she passed. I realized that day how much she loved my Dad and how happy they were together. I was looking forward to spending time with the two of them, and getting to know her more. I keep picturing her driving away from the Florida house, smiling & waving to me in her beloved T-bird, and I will carry that image with me forever.
