I met Lula and George when I started working at the bowling alley many years ago. You never saw one without the other. We became friends right away and had many good talks. She gave me some good advice and always listen when I had something bothering me. She was a very kind and caring woman who could also be a spitfire if needed be. Every year she would come in bringing me a handful of gardenias and daffodils from her yard. She will truly be missed. Prayers for comfort and strength for her family.

George, Sandy and rest of the family, I am so sorry for your loss and that I can't be there to tell you personally how much her friendship meant to me. After working together on the youth program with her, I looked forward to seeing her whenever I got back into town. My love and prayers to all of the family. Lula was a special lady and I'm proud to have known and worked with her.
