"SHE was just a cracking little girl".
That was the epitaph imposed by Andy Carr, better known as GTFC mascot Mighty Mariner, who said it had been "an honour" to have met Lucy.
He said he had first come to meet her when the staff at New Waltham Academy had asked him to appear at a party for Lucy and her classmates – which he was more than happy to do, free of charge.
And later, he walked Lucy and his own daughter Lottie out on to the pitch at Blundell Park, when she was named mascot in the clash against Wrexham – a day which he says will "live in my memory forever".
Clearly devastated by the news of her passing, he said: "All I can say is she is a cracking little girl.
"It's devastating, but at least now she is not in any pain any more.
"At the end of the game against Wrexham, she came running over to me and said 'Oh Andy. Thank you for the day'.
"That was just her. A lovely, bubbly little girl."
He also praised the staff at New Waltham Academy.
He said: "I know how hard it has been for the school.
"They have been amazing in the way they have dealt with it all.
"Our thoughts are with Lucy's family."
