May time heal this painfull loss. I will always rember Curtis and Mama Lo she always had a smile on her face. We always enjoyed each day when they would bring the menu down to be copied at Central FL Office Supply, we would make an extra copy to pass around the store. Then go down and eat. The food was always great. I will miss her greatly. May GOD bless youre family.

Margaret our deepest sympathy in the loss of you mom. I am reflecting back during my high school days at Lincoln, when we would go to the recreation center(Rosa B. Williams Center)dance until 10:45pm, rush to Lo's to finish on the back patio, eating food and just hanging before our curfew. Lo knew we were teenagers with no money but she enjoyed our company. You had a great mom. God has not forgotten your dedication to her, praying for you.
