Everyone’s asking about Lucia!
This is part of an email sent to Monica – Lucia’s family was so touched by it they wanted to share…the author is a Santa Rosa Police officer and friend of Lucia’s. Thank you to everyone who has shown their concern!
….Everyone expresses their well wishes to you, Lucia and her family…I mean EVERYONE! Of course the Deputies, Probation, Parole, Firefighters etc…all ask about her on a daily basis. The clerks at the Fulton Arco station never talked to me before…now they all ask for daily updates. The mechanics and other city employees all ask about her daily. Citizens run after me, frantically wave me down and ask about Lucia. I contacted three gang members at a park and they asked about her and said “that’s real F-d up…ya know?” — gang members wishing a cop well…if anyone could make that happen, it would have to be Lucia. After citing people for random things…cell phone violations, running stop signs and such, all have asked about Lucia and her recovery….citizens not disgruntled over a ticket and more concerned about a cop…once again, that’s Lucia’s doing.
Drunks at Finley Park…all asking about our girl Lucia–random?!
I can’t keep track of all the people that have been concerned and send their best wishes and love to you and Lucia…as I’m sure you know, the support has been overwhelming. I don’t want to sound like a Hallmark card but It’s really refreshing and a reminder that there really are good people in this world that care.
I’m so proud of Lucia and her fight for recovery. I’m also so very proud of you and your strength throughout this ordeal. I know it’s not easy, but know that you have a lot of friends and the cop family here to back you up 100% and help you along the way.
Wow. What a tribute to everything we know and love about you, Loosh. Very, very cool!
Hi Lucia–
I just heard about your accident through Suzi’s facebook page. Not exactly the way, I had hoped we’d reconnect. So I clicked to this blog and have been reading all the posts with tears running down my face. I am simultaneously horrified by this tragic experience you’ve been catapulted into and so incredibly touched by the outpouring of support in your community and beyond. You have obviously made a huge difference in so many people’s lives. And isn’t that what life is really all about? Meaningful human connections…
I wish you and your family only the best during this trying time. You will be in my thoughts and prayers. I hope someday we can see each other. Missed you at the reunion.
Lots of love,
Jen Dunning
