Sending love and comfort to the family. RIP Lola. You lived a great life! Always in our hearts

So sorry to hear of the passing of Lola. I met Lola and Al when I visited my son who lived next door to them. Such an amazing couple. I used to go and sit on their patio, and have such a wonder time just talking and spending time. Lola was such a lot of fun. We would even send each other Christmas Cards every year. My sincerest condolences to her entire family as they grieve the loss of the woman they all love so much.

Our Hearts are so heavy for the loss of LOLA.But our special memories we will cherish forever.Lola will always be the"Queen of our Hearts"Lots of Love Always"That stands for "Lola" We Love You, Michael & Judy Smolick

A lovely woman with a smile that would light up a room is surely going to be missed. You will always be in our hearts. With dearest remembrance, Natalie & Ron.

My Dear Lola. You may have passed on to a better place but you will always be alive and well in my heart. You always had a smile, a warmth and such a caring attitude toward people that made you so special. If only this world had more people like you. I can’t begin to express how sad life is without you. Knowing you are now at peace is my only joy. I love you and always will.
