Where is Lucy What has happened

I had not heard from my friend Lucy for several months She had not responded to the last three texts I sent. I texted her this morning “are you okay?” A typed transcript came back this afternoon. Three months ago she was loading groceries into her car. When she turned to get her purse, it had been stolen from the cart. She does not have any phone numbers memorized or written down. Stealing a woman’s purse has to be the work of a snake. This is a low-down-selfish-mean thing to do. And has caused her much angst. I telephoned her house line and left a message. Telling her my phone number. Then I called some mutual friends. They are doing the same thing. We cannot fix what the snake did, but we can try to help.
