My Aunt was the light when she entered a room. I don't think there ever was a time when I was with her that she didn't make me laugh, even at the end. She is a Strong & Beautiful woman inside and out!!! I wish miss you greatly! ! :(
Love Terri Berry!

Jim,
As you know, I am awkwardly in denial with the passing of Lola. She was a wonderful and pleasant lady and full of love and grace. There are no words to describe my emotions for your loss, or the loss to her many friends, in particular, her Gillette friends.
Rest in peace my friend.
