It’s spooky but I was thinking about Lecretia a few weeks ago. We were at school camp and we were orienteering together and me being the naughty one decided to take a short cut up a steep rocky hillside and Lecretia followed after a bit of persuasion and got stuck halfway up. I was musing on how I wish I was still no fear. I was friends with Lecretia for a couple of years but I went off the rails and lost touch with everyone. I was soo jealous of Lecretia’s warm loving home and her parents were so kind. I always thought Lecretia would end up in media as we spent many hours recording radio shows on tape. My nana still had the magazine Jole we did together when she died. I sorted myself out but I always wondered what happened to Lecretia, Angela, Melissa and Hillary. They were such nice genuine people and I wasn’t so I left the group. I always feel bad about it but I was not worthy of being friends with girls from loving families.
Lecretia taught me to play Add-on on the trampoline, that milk goes with KFC and what family could be. I am now completely off the grid. I got my degree and worked and lived in Auckland for 20 years. I needed peace and quiet and live in the country in Sth Taranaki. I don’t have a landline, a television aerial or a computer. I was listening to the radio on Monday afternoon and thought I heard Lecretia’s name. I listened to the news hourly and was none the wiser so I put on my woollies at 6 and went round the corner to my 70something yr old neighbours who always watch the news to see what the story was. I got a huge shock, I didn’t have a clue and here she is dying. I hope someone contacts me as I would have much preferred to write a personal letter. I’m not very internet savvy anymore and don’t even know if this will reach anyone. By the way Angela you look hot!!
lots of love and thoughts

You’ve brought me to tears Angela- in a good way. You see, Lecretia as the eldest of all her cousins – has taken this role seriously – never missing a 21st or any family celebration. We absolutely adore her so your story only upholds all that our darling is…Genuine, true and kind…. “A woman of Substance.” Love to you Angela.
