Josh, so sorry for your loss. Your mom was still young and so it stings that much more. But God has plans and she was needed at home to help make them work as He wishes, not always as we wish. The day will come when you’ll find out why she was called home so soon, and she will greet you and your family members with open arms. God rest her soul and God bless you and your family.

Sending you my eternal love Aunt Lola. We never had enough time, but I am forever grateful for the love we shared and for all of the love and guidance you gave me. I have no doubt you are in the incredible Glory of God the Almighty. And while our hearts hurt here, you deserve all that heaven and God have in store for you. Your heart and light will shine on through those who love and miss you. Sending you a heavenly hug and may you have a blessed reunion with your parents.
To Aunt Lola’s children and grandchildren, I am so so very sorry for your loss. This is a tragic loss to the family. The light of God always shined brightly in her and it was clear she was Godfully special. Know you will see her again. My love and prayers go out to all of the family.
Love,
Maraya and family

Josh, your loss of your mother is a deep loss, but may you continue to live healthier and better on her behalf. she would love that. mourn her loss, but celebrate her aliveness to KEEP her alive. May she find balance and love in the good place she is at, and may you, with the time you still have as well. be well.

Hi nana-
I miss our constant text messages and FaceTime calls already. I miss you texting me all the time sharing furniture ideas. I can hear your voice constantly and imagine you sitting in the chair in your nighty or your jeans asking us to come sit with you and looking at us saying how much you love us. I see your smile and hear your laugh. You were the definition of what a grandmother should be. You were the absolute BEST nana in the world. I miss your lasagna and your chocolate chip cookies and braiding my hair. I miss hearing you telling me NOT to cut my hair and leave it long. Every time I watch Hallmark channel I think of you. You loved us BEYOND WORDS, and always expressed it. I missed my birthday card from you this year. Thank you for being my guardian angel now and Noah’s. Watch out for us and visit us in our dreams. No words will sum up how much you loved us and how much we love, and miss you. You are the sweetest. There aren’t enough words to describe the amazing person you are. I could go on and on about you nana. I close my eyes constantly and see you. I know you’re dancing up there and smiling down. The BEST NANA EVER! I miss you and love you unconditionally. I’ll be seeing you <3
Your granddaughter

I worked with Lola years ago and remember her vivid personality from that time. I was delighted to see her again a few months ago–I just wish it hadn’t been because she was my patient. It was a pleasure to care for her. My condolences to her family on your loss. She loved you all!
