As one of her favorite nieces...and one of my favorite tias my heart goes out to my family. I will always remember tia Lucila with her cigarette hanging from the corner of her mouth while talking or sewing. She is the only women that I've seen that could do that. We were blessed to have such a caring and beautiful aunt. An aunt that gave me many advices including my favorite advice, when at the time I was dating my now husband "Mira mija, de aqui para ariba todo, pero de aqui para abajo nada". Referring that from the neck up you can do whatever you desire, but from the neck down thats a no, no. I always thought of her (but never said anything to her, cause I'm sure she would slap the __ out of me)as machine gun Lucy. Cause when she got mad and couldn't get her words out straight it was like she had a machine gun vocabulary, que, que, que,. She was funny and loving woman, bringing back memories of back in the days when she, tia Pepa and my mom would get together and have a 3-woman party. Having a great time. But most of all I will love her more now in her passing then I did when we were blessed with her presence. Love you tia "Machine gun Lucy".
