“When I come to the end of the road, and the sun has set for me
I want no rites in a gloomy filled room, why cry for a soul set free?
Miss me a little, but not for long, not with your head bowed low.
Remember the love that we all shared, miss me but let me go.”

November 17, 2024 at 12:51 pmMy deepest condolences to you all. Lula was one of a kind. It was always so much fun to stop and have a chat with her. It was a right of passage, stopping to talk with Lula with your parents while shopping until the time came when you were old enough to stop on your own and have your own visit. She was a treasure.
