She set out to make a difference in many lives & she accomplished that daily. Prayers goes out to all that knew her. Lola will truly be missed but not forgotten. Rest Beautiful Angel.

Beautiful lady, spread your wings;
Fly now to where you'll be free.
Free from all your worries and cares;
God's angels will meet you there.

Beautiful lady, you are truly missed;
But where you are is true bliss.
Beautiful lady we'll remember you well;
Oh, the stories we'll all tell.

Beautiful lady, spread your wings;
Fly now to where you are free.
For Beautiful lady, though your time has come;
We celebrate with you, your going home!

You will be missed.
