To Lucille Ball's left in the thumbnail picture is her second husband, Gary Morton. Even after their divorce in 1960, Desi advised Lucy on her first followup series after the end of their landmark collaboration, "The Lucy Show" with Vivian Vance (1962-68). Outside, cameras waited, but inside the church, it was just Lucy, Desi, and the echoes of a love story that had shaped both their lives — and touched millions around the world.
It was a goodbye steeped in both gratitude and grief, a reminder that behind the laughter of I Love Lucy were two real people whose bond was deeper than television could ever capture.

I can't imagine what Lucy was feeling that day. From the microphone he asked the congregation to stand and repeat after him three times, as loudly as they could three words: I LOVE LUCY!
It's unusual to see Lucy so serious. They did, and blew the top of the Church off, figuratively. In his final years, Desi often spoke fondly of Lucy, and she never missed a chance to acknowledge what they had created together.

There is another Lucy to celebrate today.
Behind them are Lucie Arnaz and husband, Laurence Luckinbill. This Lucy's life is shrouded in mystery.
At the conclusion of the funeral Mass for Lucille, the pastor of Saint Monica’s parish turned to a gentleman in the congregation, the well-known founder of the Crystal Cathedral and the Hour of Power Television show, saying: “Rev.
However, we do know that she was a young, noble woman of Syracuse, Sicily, martyred for the faith and virginity around the year 304 A.D. We invoke her as the patroness of blind people. Please invite your loved ones to join us too!
