Poor Lucia. She was SO sweet, so full of joy! I am so deeply sorry for this loss to Lucia's family and especially her sister Juana (also in the Elderly Care Program)-- they were very close (and it's even clear in the photos - https://picasaweb.google.com/110451788994899868894/Octubre19De2011FotosDeAncianosDePanajachel). I remember one time during a food run we saw a motorcycle parked outside Lucia's family's home, and another volunteer asked if the motorcycle is hers. All of us were in tears laughing as Lucia pretended to ride the bike. She really had the widest smile I have ever seen. Here is my all-time favorite photo of Lucia, to give those who didn't personally know here an idea: https://picasaweb.google.com/110451788994899868894/Septiembre29De2010FotosDeAncianos#5522716707604815282. It was a great pleasure and honor knowing Lucia. The world has lost a ray of sunshine!
