Miss Lola Mae was a beautiful lady, who always exhibited the character of her savior, Jesus. Her kindness and beautiful smile will always be remembered. Clois was a barber with my Daddy, Leslie Sutterfield. I remember when the family came to work in Mountain View. Clois and Lola Mae were honorary pallbearers at Daddy's funeral. I remember Kelvin and Kathy when very young. Praying God's peace with all.
Oh my seaweed girl I will miss you so much as well as that sweet smile you followed me around with . Butt I am thankful you are no longer hurting and your where your needed I love you and will see you again
Prayers for all of Lola's family. She was a good Christian woman. I knew her for many years at the factory.
Dear family, we send our deepest sympathy in the home going of Lola. I pray you all can celebrate her to her forever home. What she for so many years believed by faith became sight when she entered the glory of HIS presence. Claim God's promises we know are true and reflect on happy memories.
