I have many happy memories of times spent with Lou. She was very kind to everyone at The Wellington, and we miss her very much. - Posted by: Irene Reith (Friend) on: Apr 26, 2013

Mother (Alma) always enjoyed her golf with Lou. They spent many glorious hours together at Southwood and elsewhere - even taking lessons together to "brush up" (as if they needed it)! This time of year they would be cleaning up the clubs in preparation for the season ahead. I know Alma would be thinking of Lou now. Perhaps they will be hitting the links together again! My thoughts are with you all. I know that lovely smile will be deeply missed by so many. - Posted by: Marilyn Williams (Daughter of golf buddy Alma Williams ) on: Apr 23, 2013

Aunt Lucy was truly a remarkable woman. Last of the Fabro brother's wives and dedicated to family throughout her life. Many are often reminded of her when we see that distinctive same smile on the faces of her childern and grand childern. - Posted by: John Fabro (Nephew) on: Apr 20, 2013
