As I remember her...
My earliest memories of Lola as a kid was being dropped off with the other cousins to be baby sat during the holidays. Lola A and Tita Katu would cook breakfast for us and we would watch TV in their tiny little room...looking back we wonder how it used to house all of us so comfortably...
I remember Lola always giving us lollies and maccas burgers back when they used to be served in styrofoam packaging and for some reason carnation milk would always be served to us with Milo...
I remember Lola always smiling...from back then till now, even when she didn't recognise us. She was always happy to see us, to be around us, to take care of us. A lady whos faith for God and love for her family never waivered and was so contagious.
She survived almost all of her kids, two world wars and countless other riff raffs.
I hope those that knew her don't mourn in pain...if anything, we should learn from her that we should just smile, be happy that God blessed us with her presence and that she was able to be with us for 105 years! Smiling is the key to a long and happy life and I believe she was a great advocate of that.
Rest In Peace Lola...we will love and remember you always!

Thanks for your words of support bub. I gotta keep reminding myself of that :) Woah your Lola lived 105 years? That's amazing! Sounds like she had a wonderful run - sorry for your loss. But at least we all know she's in good hands now :)
