Michael, I thought about your mom for months. I had been sending texts to her that were never answered. I really liked her. We had some great conversations. I even went by where you used to work to ask about her. I’m so sorry for you and your dad loss. I know I met her through school but we really had a connection. You were her world. I send my sincere condolences to you both. She was a wonderful lady.

Condolences from the Pagounidis family. We lost my dad Steryos earlier this year and they were great friends. My entire life I remember lucy’s happy smile and joyful laugh always giving great words and encouragement. She will be greatly missed rest in peace beautiful angel 🕊️

Lucy was born in New York to Sicilian parents who had migrated from Sicily in the 1950s in search of a better life. Together with her brothers, Vinny and Paulie, she was raised surrounded by strong Italian traditions and values — large weekly family dinners, lively gatherings filled with cousins, laughter, delicious food, music, and dancing. Family was everything to Lucy, and from a young age, she stood out as the fun, bubbly, and fearless cousin who could make anyone laugh.
During her college years, Lucy met the love of her life, Alex. What began as a deep friendship soon blossomed into a beautiful love story, and from that moment on, they were inseparable. Together, they built a life full of devotion, laughter, and unwavering love.
Lucy and Alex faced unimaginable heartbreak with the loss of their beloved son, Alexander, who was born premature and passed away at just eight months old. Their hearts were forever changed, but hope and joy found their way back with the birth of their son, Michael Antonio. Michael became Lucy’s rock, inheriting her toughness, resilience, and compassion.
In 2009, Lucy and Alex moved with her family to Florida for a fresh start and to be closer to her cousins, Eda and Enza. There, they created a beautiful life surrounded by dear friends, the Italian Gang and neighbors — their Coral Key family — who became an extension of their own. Together, they shared countless holidays, celebrations, and dinners, always filled with laughter, love, and the warmth Lucy brought to every gathering.
In her later years, as Lucy faced serious health challenges, Alex never left her side. His unwavering love, patience, and devotion were nothing short of inspiring. Through every hospital visit, every difficult day, and every quiet moment, Alex remained her strength — just as she had always been his. Their love was a testament to true partnership, resilience, and faith.
Anyone who knew Lucy knew she had the biggest heart, the kindest soul, and the warmest smile.

My beautiful, beautiful cousin Lucy my heart is so broken so sad by your loss. I look back at all our memories growing up so much laughter so much love and you always had  so much love in your heart. I'm so happy I got to see you when you came to see  my papa your uncle Mario. Uncle Mario loves you so so much and always know we love you all so so much rest in peace, my beautiful angel. My heart goes out to all. I love you all your cousin dina! 🙏🥲 💔

My heart is absolutely broken to hear this news. I’ve known Lucy for over 20 years—she started out doing our taxes, but she quickly became so much more than that. Over the years, we grew close, shared countless conversations, and laughed until we cried more times than I can count. She was such a light—kind, funny, and genuine—and I will miss her dearly.

Michael and Alex, I am so incredibly sorry for your loss. I hope you find comfort in the beautiful memories you shared and in knowing how deeply she was loved by so many.

I am so sorry to hear the passing of Lucy. I remeber Lucy always having a huge smile on her face and giving me the biggest hugs. I wish the family got to see each other more. She will be so missed. My heart goes out to you all. Rest in peace Lucy I will never forget you.  Love always Kristen xoxo

Dear Lucy, As I look back on over 40 years of friendship, I'm filled with gratitude, for the laughter, adventures, and quiet moments we shared. We met in college, two kindred spirits bonding over dreams and ambitions, and our friendship only grew stronger with time.

From our talks, lunches, dinners, celebrating milestones, to supporting each other through life's ups and downs, you've been more than just a friend – you've been family, a partner in crime, and a constant source of love and encouragement.

Your impact on my life is immeasurable, and I'll carry the memories of our time together with me always. Though you'll be deeply missed, I'm comforted knowing that our friendship will live on in my heart, and that the lessons we learned and the laughter we shared will continue to inspire me for years to come.

Rest in peace, dear friend. Your memory will be a blessing to me and to all who knew you.

My heart goes out to Alex and Michael. Lucy was my dearest friend from our childhood years. Even she is not with us anymore she will be in our hearts forever

I have countless memories of Lucy - 32 years next door - laughter and tears, shared celebrations - joys and sorrows - shared birthday cakes with my son every New Year's Eve wherever we were celebrating - dancing and singing - awesome birthday cookies from Maria - shared Italian heritage - you brought and gave love... you shared your joys and sorrow, which made you like family to me... you gave your heart - and it was a heart of gold... 
Lucy, at the next party, I'm just going to pretend that you are running late as you often did, but will show up soon with your delicious eggplant and infectious smile, love and kindness that just emanated from you ... I love you... Just wish I would have told your more...
We need not to take each other for granted...
