While I only met Lucy once, at Taylor and Stephanie’s wedding reception, I know how much she meant to her entire family, especially Stephanie, Lina and Gia. My prayers are for peace and comfort during the difficult time.
2 Corinthians 1:3-4
“3¶Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
4who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God.
Love to all in Christ,
