Linda, Nadean, & Pam
I 'm so sorry for the loss of your precious mother. It's so hard to give up the best friend you will ever have. May God help you and comfort you at this difficult time.
I probably won't be able to attend the service, since we are dealing with the virus, but I will be praying for you and your families.
Love to all,

It just doesn't seem real to me. Aunt Leola has been in my life for my entire life. My fondest memories are of our extended families picnicking and swimming at the creek on Cottonwood Road. Spending nearly every Christmas, Thanksgiving together at Grandma's. I treasure every moment we had with her. My heart is hurting and I wish for more days. I love you all so much. Linda, Nadean, Pam we may be cousins by birth but we are truly sisters in my heart. If you need to talk, need a hug or a shoulder to cry on I'm as close as a phone call. I'll be there as quick as I can get there. Rest in Peace Leola. We're going to miss you so much.
