Berti and family, I am so sorry for your loss. Lola was a great lady and we will miss her. We had many good times throughout the years. She lived at the Pioneer Home twice and her determination was a lesson for all of us to learn from. What a neat lady she was. We were grateful for the opportunity to have her there and for meeting a family that trully cared for their parent.
