    “Betty Boop” it was a total honor to have met you and spend time with you. Little Anthony too. So here is my prayer: Father, thank you that Lucy’s family and friends are never alone, your presence calms the troubled sea of their life and speaks peace to their souls. Your word says that their faith will never be put to shame when their trust is in you. Hear my prayer as I ask for comfort in dealing with their loss of their loved one. Help me to find words to give strength and peace in your presence. Restore joy to their souls. Lord, bless them all and keep them together make your face shine upon them. Turn your face towards Lucy’s friends and family. Give them peace. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord. In his name I pray, Amen!
