Lucretia was such a good friend. I believe I've known her since middle school, we always had homeroom together. I didn't get to know her well in School but we reconnected through our adult lives through Isaiah, Avon, and piano lessons.She was the sweetest person I know. During piano lessons we would share stories of our grandchildren, agreeing that they were The second best gift from God, Jesus and his salvation being the first and greatest gift. I wanted to learn to play the piano so bad and I told her of prayers I would pray for God to just blessed me with the gift and the ability to play and she would bust my bubble by telling me I had to work and practice. She would encourage me not to give up. She loved her family so much and adored her grand babies. Her life here on earth was way too short, But I know her soul is forever in heaven.
