Mother Isaac has many talents but these three were her favorites.
(Playing Spades, Singing & Pottery). She was an excellent player. If
there was a game to be played, she was there with her partner &
longtime friend Mother Lularene Hayward. She was a powerful spirit-
filled singer, she sang in the choir for 40 + years serving as president for
many years until she became weary in well doing and had to retire
because of health concerns. Her passion for pottery was outstanding. It
began as a hobby but quickly became a craft. Her knowledge of mixing
and matching paints was extraordinary, many of us have some of her
work still in our homes today. We loved her, but the Father loved her
more, we can only hope that one day we will see her again over there.
