The passing of a great lady.

Lucretia Hymas, LaVina's mother, passed away at the age of 99. She lived for years and years in the cottage in Richard and LaVina's yard. I will always remember how she loved to piece quilts, work in the yard and garden, do name extraction, bake bread, and visit with friends and family.
I can't think of Lucretia's passing without thinking of the loving care that LaVina has given to her mother for such a long extended period of time. Our hats are off to you LaVina. You are an example to all of us of a wonderful daughter and we can all only hope to be, and hope to have, children as kind and giving as you have been with your mom.

We have one of her beautifully pieced baby quilts, which she gave us when we were taking advantage of Richard and LaVina's hospitality. I thought she was awesome, and we treasure the quilt.

I too am the owner of one of Lucretia's quilts. I stopped in with my mom to visit and meet Lucretia. She was very kind and she wouldn't let me leave her home without a pieced baby quilt for Spencer.
