Mom, the remainder of my days will be filled with all my memories and love for you. So much fun and laughter, warmth and caring for everyone, respect for people and love for God and Jesus, concern for family, the list could go on forever. You gave me the tools I needed to handle life, how to be a strong southern woman - a steel magnolia. You lived life fearless and with integrity. You adopted two unwanted babies, one that you knew would be handicapped, and put your whole heart, soul and love into raising us fearlessly and without hesitation, even through the worst hardships imaginable. I thank you for letting God guide you to us. You saved our lives. And what a wonderful stepfather you provided for Doug and I. I learned from you how to respect and treat a husband, what an amazing marriage you had. You always told me that being a mother and grandmother were the BEST days of your life. I wouldn't know how to be a mawmaw without you. I just know that I promise you to live the rest of my days without fear, stay in touch with family and friends, follow God's commandments and keep my "Chin up - (all those close to my Mom know how to finish this)". Mom, you are gone from our sight, but NEVER, EVER forgotten. I miss you and love you, your daughter Retta.
My first memory of Aunt Lolita was getting together in her kitchen to bake cookies with my mother and Julie! She had a warm and embracing voice, and was fun with a twinkle in her eyes. Every time I saw her that twinkle was always in her eyes - along with her smile! That smile and those twinkling eyes will be missed by so many.
MY WASHER AND DRYER ARE GOING AND I'M STILL FIGHTING THE SNAILS IN MY GARDEN, THE ONLY THING MISSING IS YOU! I FEEL LIKE I HAVE LOST MY MOTHER ALL OVER AGAIN; THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL, LOVING, CARING AND GIVING PERSON; I AM BLESSED THAT YOU WERE FAMILY, BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY YOU WERE MY FRIEND...
Sure going to miss my Old Fart. Yes, this was a nickname I gave to her. I would call and when Cal answered the phone I would say, where is the Old Fart. She would always laugh. Anyway Sis, Your brother Gary and I will always, always miss you and think about you everyday. Your brother is going to be lost without you. He would always stop every morning and have coffee with Cal and check on her and go aggrevate her in her room. The only thing we are happy about is that you are not suffering anymore. Look for Gary because he will be your grave site with a cup of coffee for you every morning. We LOVE YOU AND WILL MISS YOU.
GARY AND LINDA MATHAS
My heart is with you today as you celebrate the life of a wonderful person, Aunt Lolita. As a child, I always enjoyed visiting her. I remember the way she lit up her home with a vibrant, welcoming personality. She greeted everyone by name and made them feel like the most important guest to cross her threshold. Her beautiful smile and wonderful sense of humor will be missed.
Oh my! Sweet memories have been sweeping through my mind these last 2 weeks. Auntie,you were the best, we had some good times when you caravaned to Texas with Nanny and friends in tow. We cooked, shopped and mostly laughed, so many laughs! Uncle Cal, LJ told me yesterday that out of all the people he knew, YOU were so devoted to Aunt Lolita, he said it showed, never has he seen that in a married couple as much as your's. We will miss Aunt Lolita forever, but we have to busy ourselves and carry out the legacy that she left us. Love, laugh and be happy. With much love, Linda

Aunt Lolita will be greatly missed by all of the family. We has special times at christmas at Nanny and Pawpaw's house. She was always ready to have a good time anywhere she went. I will remember her in her sunflower hat fishing with daddy in grand isle. We had the best time. Micheal enjoyed going to her house with mom and dad, she always make him feel special. Uncle cal, my heart goes out to you. You did take such good care of Aunt Lolita. You were one of my best aunts, even though you were the mean old lady. I will always love you. cheryl, donnie and micheal.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your family. May the words in Psalms 245:14 bring you hope and comfort.
