Eulogy read at funeral mass        Good morning everyone my name is Susy Tersigni Antal 

Lucy Tersigni, daughter, sister, wife, mother, sister-in-law aunt and friend
Lucy was born May 8th 1948 she was 66 years young and she leaves behind her loving and devoted husband Tony, her son Danny, her daughter Stephanie her son in law Jay her mother Maria her father Parise and her sister Joanne. 
She was an incredible person that no words can really describe. If you ask anyone  who knew her the answer would be the same, wonderful, loving, caring devoted and just a pleasure to be around.

She was a cherished daughter to her parents Maria and Parise she had the patience of Job and was always there for them in whatever they needed and she was a constant source of support for them.  Joanne was not only her sister but her best friend, being only one year apart they were practically twins. Although they were different ,they were inseparable. 

She met and married the man of her dreams 44 years ago and as a couple they were envied. The love they shared was evident in all aspects of their life. They did everything together and they both relied on each other for love and support. Tony your loss is unimaginable and the unwavering devotion you showed for Lucy is something that you can always hold in your heart and know that she left this world knowing that she was loved and cared for and never alone.

Decisiveness was not her strong suit Tony regaled to me the story of her inability to make a decision and stick with it, he would begin planting the garden in the spring and maybe by September it would be complete, it would have been easier to plant the flowers in a wheelbarrow as they had to be moved around daily.

Lucy made everyone feel special, young, old, friends, and relatives she always had time for everyone. 
She was a honorary mother to all the children in the neighborhood, near and far.
She touched so many lives in such a simple way, because that was her way, no pomp and ceremony just honest love and caring. in these last 2 days the amount of people who came to the visitation and shared all their memories of how amazing she was is a testament of how she touched so many people lives.
Her cousin David felt compelled to fly in all the way from Australia just to be here and her great nephew Matthew  flew in from Victoria to play here at the funeral because he knew how much she would have loved it, she never missed one of his concerts from the time he was 5 and this is something he needed to do for her.
Having said all of this Lucy's true calling was being a Mom. It was her life and she was devoted to her children. She had a successful career but from the time she had Danny she stayed home and devoted her life to him, then 2 years later she had Stephanie and her family was complete. She never could go back to work. She was really proud of her children always pushing them to achieve bigger and better things. She taught them to believe in and to stand up for themselves.. She had strong beliefs and even if they would do something that she was against she would not only accept it  but embrace it. for example she claimed that she would be indifferent when Stephanie brought her dog Maggie home but as it turns out, Maggie became a focal part of her life, she was given run of the house and basically anything she wanted. 

Lucy was very stoic and proud. She never wanted to burden anyone with her struggles because, she was the shoulder to cry on, she gave the hug that was needed, she gave words of comfort she was the one who supported you in times of need, she was selfless.

Her love was unconditional, never wavering and Danny and Stephanie will always have the best heart felt memories of their amazing Mom. Right now its unimaginable to believe that she is gone but her legacy lives on in her children something that would make her very proud. 
Lucy would be overwhelmed at all the love and support that has been shown to her family over these past couple of days and I know that she is in heaven looking down at all of this with a smile on her beautiful face and love and thanks in her heart.

Rest in Peace Lucy we all love you and miss you!


Cara zia, figlia, sorella, moglia, e Mamma

Questo giorno non avrei mai voluto che arrivasse. 
Ma sono sollevata che sei in un posto migliore in compagnia del Signore.
Noi qui pregheremo per te e per i tuoi cari che trovino pace nei loro cuori per la tua inaspettata partenza.
Ti bacio come facevi a tutti. Che il regno dei celi ti accolga a braccia aperte

Dear Tony, Danny, Stephanie & Jay,

Lucy was an ever-loving wife and adored her children beyond measure.  Her gentle spirit and heart of gold touched so many.  She embraced life's blessings as well as its challenges. She was a strong, stoic woman who always tried to see the silver lining in every situation.

Lucy was the first person to welcome our daughter as well as our family into the neighbourhood.  Throughout the years, we have made many wonderful memories.  She was a true friend and confidante and we will truly miss her.  My dear friend, rest in peace.

I will always remember her for her beautiful smile and her genuine thoughtfulness. She was one of a kind. My thoughts and prayers are with you all and I wish you peace.
