I am sorry to hear of Lucy’s death. I named my daughter after her as I was related to her thorough marriage and she was such a nice lady. I enjoyed going over to her’s and Glenn’s home off of Mill Gap Road, but since moving away from Asheville, I lost touch with her. I am so sorry that she did not get to see her namesake and her two daughters for she would have loved them. Again my deepest sympathy to her family and friends.
Sincerely,
Peggy Guest Totherow
