May her memory be of comfort to all her family and friends. I will miss the tight hug I would get when visiting St. Francis and running into her. She made me feel special, like a family member she hasn't seen in a long time. Que Dios los bendigas!! Mucho amor y oraciones. Marta Reyes Roman

This is a time for us to remember Luz , her never-ending smile, her cheeky laugh, her cheerful and loving ways and the good times we shared with her. She was one of the sweetest person and she touched all who she met with her easy smile and welcoming ways. Death is so final like and endless problem, while we continue to feel the pain. Luz, your sudden passing left our hearts broken whenever we hear your name. Death is something we have to live with, although it makes our heart sadden. Luz, we will surely miss you, in our hearts you will always stay. Praying as you always do, that God keep you at peace. We will miss you forever, so Rest In Peace and in eternity you will safely be. We give our condolences to Carl, London and sisters.

To hear the news was so heart breaking. GOD has called Lucy home, she touched so many here on earth during her time and my condolences are with the entire Family. We lost an outstanding individual. We sometimes struggle with questions as to why and we may never know, but to know that GOD knows is probably the most comforting peace we can all have. May you Rest in Peace and we will see you again. With lots of Love Samuel Diaz

I woke this morning thinking about Luz and her fierce love and friendship and absolute dedication to her family… of the trips she took despite Dr’s advice against it! Luz is and always will be that reminder that all is possible when you believe and to never take a moment for granted. This is true even before her diagnosis of cancer. Luz- you are so loved and admired! Thank you for the gifts you shared with us through your authenticity , determination and grace. So many fun memories with you- brunches, treat from an amazing bakery for any meeting… our thoughts and prayers for your precious family now and always. Much love!
