expected the best from everyone and everything because she tried to give her
best: in time, care, and concern to those with whom she came in contact. Lucia
was always a “connector” – she connected people with friends and agencies and
places. Some of us can attest to the fact that Lucia loved our kids and
grandkids. She genuinely took an interest in their wellbeing and activities and
remembered all their names. Lucia was engaged
in social justice activities. During this past year Liz Whelan told us that Lucia
would call Liz every evening after the news to discuss the politics and
injustices of the day.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Over the
last 11 months, Roberto and I, and others, have shared the challenge and the
privilege of journeying with Lucia along “The Road Most Travelled”. Together we
climbed mountains and stumbled in valleys while continuing to forge ahead.
Together we experienced both the fragility of life and the resilience of life.
We re-lived beautiful moments and recognized shortcomings. And together we
prayed to our God of Love and Compassion in childlike faith and trust and
innocence. And we heard: “All Shall Be Well”.<span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><br></span></p>
