There are people that come and go in our lives, and others who leave an imprint in our hearts. This fireball of energy knew no strangers. May she rest in peace and may Paul and the family be comforted with the fond memories created by Tola. In God´s holy name I pray, Amen.

I crossed paths with Tola for about 20 years as her inspector of choice while helping her clients purchase homes. Tola was a total sweetheart, always concerned for her clients during a stressfull time of buying a house. I will miss her wonderful smile and attitude. Gerry S.
