Dear Members of Lucy’s Family: I wish to extend my most sincere sympathy and heartfelt prayers on the loss of your mother. When I worked at St. Paul’s in Weirton, she was a real treat to talk with. She made wonderful rolls and was a top notch cook — more like a chef! Now she is at home with God, and may that be a continual source of comfort to you. Sincerely, Stan Tuchalski
nancy and Lee and family, Sorry to hear of your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you. sincerely, Jerry Hamill
Roseann,Nancy & Patty, I remember spending many happy times at the Carrocci house while growing up on School Street, Patty was just a newborn then. Your mom was a great lady and treated me like one of her own. My sympathy to all of you.
Just arrived home to help with my Dad and heard of your loss. Many of days spent having your mom feeding me and then telling me to go home :-))) I will never forget your mom and dad being there for my family when my mom was seriously burned and gone for 9 months – my mom wants to add that your family will always be in her prayers as well as mine The Budney Family
