Darlene, I'm so very sorry to hear of your loss of your mother. Know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family during this very difficult time. Love you.
We both worked with Lela at Barry Shoe and Mom at SAS. Praying for all of you during this time of loss.
You were a fun and amazing lady. I admired her youthful spirit and beauty. Love you!
I am so fortunate to have been able to work with Lela and know her as my friend. She was a fiery spirit and the kindest person to everyone who met her. I will so miss the laughter and fun times she shared with her adult education family. She is going to be forever missed! But what a celebration in heaven is occuring right now!
Wish we were headed to the races today Lela. Love you
This is a very, very sad day for me. One which I have dreaded since the 1960's. Our prayers are with you guys.
Lela was a great lady & truly one of the greatest generation. I shall greatly miss her. Down w/ 2 broke hips & broke shoulder, can't drive yet. Will be w/ you in thought during the trip to Atkins.
