Ms. Lola, a true lady and caring person, without a doubt, she captured my heart. Each patient I touch strengthens my soul. No doubt, I will see her in heaven. Until then, I have work to do. Rest my dear sweet Lola. Your battle has been won. Remember, we all love you!
So sorry for your loss. She was a great friend of David's grandmother. I always stopped by her door at the nursing home and say Hello. She was usually always coloring! Thinking of the family!
So sorry to hear about Lola's passing. She was a good friend of my grandmother, Marcella Pruett.
May she rest in peace.
Dear Daphene , and Family, I want to remember the good times when I was growing up. Went to her to house almost everyday to play with Karen, & Daphene, she always had some cookies, or cake baked for us. First whipped cream I ever had she saved the cream off their milk whipped it and gave it to us over fresh peaches. The best thing I thought at the time I ever had. We had such good times. I look back on all the good memories I have.
She sewed beautiful dresses for the girls. I haven't seen her in a long time last time I was there she gave me 2 dresser scarfs she had made beautiful work . She loved my Dad and my brother Billy , they had lots of good times. I pray that she is content, happy , and may she rest high on that Mountian , RIP Lola you deserve it. With Love Alma West Ward .
