I am very fortunate to have had the wonderful opportunity to meet Lola. I truly regret that I did not have more time to get to know her well but I know she was a very thoughtful, fun-loving person. She had a real sparkle in her eyes and a wonderful sense of humor. My heart goes out to her family and close friends who I know will miss her deeply.
