Lola and her fear of thunderstorms is something I will never forget! No amount of reasoning worked, she was set in her ways. Such a hard worker, I admired her strength. She loved her church and we would often talk about religion. I will truly miss her. She loved her 'Missy'.
My prayers to the family at this time, I know things are very hard for you all now but trust that God will make this burden a lot easier for y'all. I do know for sure that with family when one hurts we all hurt. Please try to stay Strong and be encourage. Y'all mother was a wonderful and strong person. Love, Gretchen
Lola you will be missed but never forgotten. Love, Kathy
My mom, oh Lord how I'm missing you so. Memories, thank God for them. Always sharing stories of different times during her life about the many people she knew or met. If you didn't know them at first, she made sure to remind you the next time she spoke of them, Yeah, you know them!" She and I love commercials. Every time a new one came on that was funny as heck, one would call the other laughing so loud saying, "Oh, did you see the so and so commercial?' Mom, as much as I am dreading today, I hope that everything is done and that you are proud that we carried everything out just as you planned. Rest in paradise my angel and pass around my love to the other loved ones that we miss dearly.
As we lay here right now as tears flow from my husbands eyes, we can't express the hurt that the void of not having Lola in our lives will bring us. She has always been the most wonderful person that anyone could want to know. We . will never forget her laughter. We thank our God in heaven for giving her to our family. She told the best stories when she could get through it without laughing. We love you dear Lola. Take your rest and suffer no more. God's peace is with you.
Iris and Scottie

I won't dare say I know, but can certainly understand your pain as I have experienced this type of loss. I pray God gives you the stength you need during this enduring time in your life.
Ms Lola was a sweet ,caring , lovable person who never met a stranger. She was a hard and dedicated worker. Even though she was afraid of lightening she still made it to work. We are truly going to miss you. RIP Ms. Lola
