Lucy's passion for reading began when her former teacher gave her a book by Shakespeare and the rest was history. With her background in medicine and love for her family, she continued to assist her relatives dealing with various illnesses. Her home became a safe haven for her younger brothers and often for her older sisters. She was undoubtedly a woman with high spiritual and moral values exemplified by her loving and caring spirit.
