Dear Jerry, Ann, Debbie and Family,
We were so sorry to hear of Aunt Lola's passing. She was a special lady...of course, I don't have to tell you that. We have many wonderful memories of her and Uncle Grant. I am so glad we were able to get her and Mom together when we met in Salem. You all are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.

Dear Cressman Family,
As we look back over the years, our hearts have been greatly enriched by having known and loved Grant and Lola Cressman. They were from the generation before us and we looked up to them. Their lives spoke volumes as they lived their Christianity.
Manley and I enjoyed the cushions Lola covered for our sunroom furniture. Without being asked she even made several different size pillows to go with the set. She enjoyed going the extra mile and doing the unexpected for the people she served.
You have a great heritage and we know you will miss your Mom as we have for such a long time because of her illness. You have been faithful and we feel certain God has prepared a place for each one of you so when the time comes you will all be together again.
Please accept our love and prayers that God will grant you comfort and peace as only He can give.
Prayerfully
Gloria McMichael

To the family of Lola Cressman,
I came to know Mr and Mrs. Cressman by working at New Bridge Baptist Church in the WEE center. They were both wonderful and kind people. Their daughter Debbie brought her son Jamie to the center. I had the priviledge of being one of his teachers. The strong Christian background that began with Mr. and Mrs. Cressman was passed on through their daughter to her children. It is hard to understand why people are taken from us, but you should find comfort in knowing you were a special part of such a well-lived life. When the Lord calls our loved ones home, He leaves a gift of memories in exchange. I am grateful for those of Mrs. Cressman.
