Not sure what to say?

This is a copy of a message Ms.Lela sent me a while back. "Slow down. Life is hard when you try to do too much.People can wait. Life is too short. If people can't wait, they have a problem. Take care. Enjoy your kids and wife.You'll wake up and find you are out of time. Love you guys. Thank you for being my friend." I'm going to truly miss her. We loved her like she loved us. We were family even though we weren't blood related.

Met Lela years ago at a Divorce Support Group and run into her a few times as a Red Cross Volunteer at the hospital afterwards. She was a very friendly, caring and nice person. May she Rest In Peace in heaven and bless her family.

Lela was such a beautiful lady inside and out. I enjoyed working with her and talking with her.

Lela was a beautiful person inside and out. I got to know her through volunteer at the hospital. Prayers goes out to her family and friends.

David, Lori and James, I´m so sorry for your loss I have a sweet memory of your parents that I want to share with you. When we lived across from each other on Bacon Creek Rd your Mom and Dad were walking down the long gravel lane to our house About halfway down the lane your Dad scooped your Mom up and carried her the rest of the way!! It was so precious and I remember her just laughing with him and having the best time! It was a sweet moment I´ve never forgotten
