What wonderful pictures and stories and a sad ending. I never had a bus, but many friends did and my sister bean girl. Hers was (Loose) Lucy 1970. She would fix Lucy herself.
I have a 1986 vanagon, but it's not the same. I remember when driving Lucy that every VW bus one passed, the drivers would give each other the wave. It was code. We went to a lot of shows in Lucy. Toward the end of it all, when Mermaid Girl was born, they would sleep in tents and let me sleep in Lucy with MG. Lucy wasn't painted in the cool way your bus was, but we still loved her. (~):-)
