My heartfelt sympathy´s to all the family. Ann Kiesel ( Lucy´s sister) was my Aunt as Paul Kiesel was my Uncle, my Dads brother, my dad was Bill Kiesel. I remember all the Ruggiero family. Bryan was also my brother in law through marriage which I no longer am married into. I love how close the all the Ruggiero siblings were to each other. It´s hard to see a full generation pass away. I send my love to you all. Thinking of you Bryan. Let´s keep our prayers around Tony Ruggiero how hard this must be.

Ron, Veronica, Clarissa and all the family, I am so very sorry. I loved Lucy all these years. She was so very special to me and everyone who met her. It's difficult to imagine a world without her. I have so many memories of Lucy but especially "roni" night and Christmas. I'm sending my Prayers, thoughts and love.

Deni and I send our sincere condolences to Lucy´s family, whom we´ve held close to our hearts in friendship for fifty years. So many fond memories of Lucy´s kindness, warmth, gentle humor and hospitality, she will be greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. We had hoped to join in the celebration of her ninety-fifth birthday nine days from now, but now we celebrate her entire, long, beautiful life. Love from Deni & Wayne "Butch" Pfaff.
