When I think of Aunt Lola, I think of the good times at her house when we were kids. She opened her arms and her home to all that came.
She was a devout Christian that loved to share God’s word. She was a great example for all of us.
Larry, Danny & Randy, she was sooooo proud of each of you. I love you all and will be praying for comfort for you and your families.
I will always remember Lola and Garrnet . All the days That Denice and I spent out at their house when we were in our younger days.she was always nice to me and welcome each time we came to visit.love and prayers to all the Family. From phyllis

My prayers are with you all. I don’t think I ever seen Lola without a smile on her face. No doubt she is smiling walking the streets of gold. She had the best hugs.
Lit a candle in memory of Lola Frances Edwards England
Chuck and I were visiting my step dad at the nursing home and we saw Lola. I said honey she has to be your aunt as she looks just like your grandma. After that she and I grew very close and I introduced her to her Great Great niece, which is my daughter Faith and I introduced her to her Great Great Great niece which is my granddaughter Ava. What a beautiful ray of sunshine on a cloudy day! I was looking forward to seeing her again when the nursing home opened, but I guess it was her time to be with Jesus and her family waiting for her in Heaven. I know I will see her again sometime in Heaven with Jesus. Love you sweet Great Aunt Lola. A lasting impression you made on me, your nephew Chuck and your nieces. You will NOT be forgotten!!!

I had the pleasure of meeting this fine lady back in January. I visited her everyday. We talked about her love for jigsaw puzzles and her colorful bird pictures. She didn’t always remember my name so she called me Sis. She was a very special lady. R.I. P. Miss Lola.🙏
