Kuku and I often worked together - she preparing the altar and I arranging the flowers. When our then rector's son and a parishioner's daughter married, I did the masses of flowers. Kuku came late in the afternoon (it was a Friday) to do the altar and found me working frantically. She stepped in and worked on the pew flowers with me, but had to go home to fix dinner. A couple of hours later, she returned - with a bottle of wonderful red wine! - and did all the remaining pew flowers, freeing me to concentrate on the altar arrangements. She stayed until almost 2 in the morning, laughing and visiting all the while. What a happy memory!

Another memory is of her setting up the pancake supper each Shrove Tuesday, putting little floral nosegays on each table.

Kuku offered a meal for the Strawberry Festival at the Church of the Redeemer. My nephew Christopher won her offering, And when the day came for her to deliver the meal, she arrived at my place with tens of chicken breasts in a delicious tomato sauce that fed my nephew and his friends and all of us for days and days. Her generosity always reminded me of someone else who fed 5,000 people with three fishes and three loaves of bread. Huda Kraske
