I have fond memories of Lucy. Senor Manuels was my first job, and I remember Lucy as a motherly woman with a hint of quirky fun. Whenever I was reprimanded (rarely) by Manuel, Lucy would give a supportive grin when I passed by the bar. Heaven's margaritas and Mexican food got an upgrade. God less Lucy and family.

My dear Aunt Lucy, I will miss your beautiful voice. You and Uncle Manual always made us feel so welcome when we would come to visit. Our entire family and Colorado Springs will never be the same without you. Looking forward to our reunion in heaven some day and you'll show us where the "authentic" mexican food can be found.
