Michele, Matt, Mark and Larry, I have such fond memories of Luretha. She was a beautiful women with a heart of gold. Burl, Jack and I really loved her. She was always there for us ready to play the piano when we needed her. She made singing fun. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Rita Spears Angelone
