I met Lucretia this past January. and we became good friends immediately. She loved to talk about her family, her fondness of playing bridge, and just about anything else. She was such a light in my path, and I will miss her sense of humor. She was a fine lady. God Bless the McDaniel Family.

I had the pleasure of helping care for Mrs. McDaniel at Autumn Care and I loves stopping by her room to chat. She would always talk about her family and how much loved them. She was so excited to decorate her room and everyone knew about her plans. Such a sweet woman and my condolences go out to the family.
