To the family, I was saddened to hear of Lulu's passing. I will always remember her through my childhood days when I played with Sylvia and Betty during the summer and her watchful eyes on us. As an adult, whenever we met, we had good conversations. Each and every one of you are in my prayers.

Ms. Lulu was one of the nicest ladies I have ever known .I enjoyed our chats on the bus in the mornings (most of the times it was about numbers) and if I was lucky enough I met her in the evening on the ride back home. I knew some days she wasn’t feeling well but she never complained. I will truly miss her Dear Family, I feel your pain.
With my deepest sympathy,
Neighbor and friend

I am so sorry for your loss. But, I am so glad that I had the opportunity to get to know her. I remember the last time I saw her. She was vibrant and jubilant. Her demeanor was still the same, upbeat. I gave her lots of hugs and kisses and told her that I loved her and she returned the same. As always, she had me laughing as we talked and was concerned about others. Hang in there. God knows best, for she is no longer suffering. She is not gone, nor will she ever be forgotten.
