Ps to my earlier post. I'm going to miss my chats with Lucy & her daughter Diane. There were times we'd sit by the fireside and talk about Lucy's day. Sometimes, Lucy would smile, other times she would scowl, then smile. I would help Lucy as much as I could, as did other residents. It wasn't just me. Alot of residents and staff looked after her. A very kind, gentle person...
Being a new resident at Vitalia's in 2024, i joined a table of ladies, Lucy being one of them. A very quiet, unassuming person, she rarely talked. I tried my darndest to get her to, but no, not Lucy. One would think she wasn't listening, but she was. One day, I mentioned something dumb about a friend of mine, she looked at me, started laughing, made a joke, then laughed some more. OMG, how she laughed! After that, she would open up alil bit depending on the subject, a pleasant surprise. I was told what a great volleyball player she was, something I didn't know. I enjoyed conversations with Lucy and her daughter Diane. Lucy would smile, sometimes being surprised about what we talked about. I'll miss those conversations too. I am going to miss Lucy. My heart and prayers going out to her family. Nancy Apt 1022
