Lucy Loyal died yesterday morning.

Famous as an equestrienne, she retired to become a "true circus Mom," raising a tribe of circus performer in keeping with a family history that dates back nine generations.

The circus world is in mourning today.

A great circus Mom and the Queen of jackpots.
Gone but not forgotten as family members still carry on.
Lucy was at the opening of Carson and Barnes in Paris this year and brought her own folding chair.

My heartfelt sympathy to Josie, Armando and all of Lucy's relatives and all those in the cirus world who were lucky to know this great lady, mother and performer.
