Today after church and lunch we went up to my cousin Darren's to visit with the family, and mostly to see Aunt Lola. She is 98, and quite a lady. We would love to keep her here with us forever, but none of us will be here forever. She has cancer, and a heart condition, so we don't know how long she will hold on. pictured above is Aunt Lola on the left, and her sister Pauline Blanton. We lost Aunt Polly about a year ago Dec. 06. She was a lovely lady also. We miss you Aunt Polly.
A little about Aunt Lola:
Born in 1909. Was married 42 years to Loyd Edge until his death in 1969. She is the mother of 3 girls, Betty, Kathy, and Shirley. Even though she has many fond memories of the past, she lives in the present, in the "today", and enjoys life today. She is a 21st Century lady. Unable to travel as much as she would like, she enjoys reading, especially about history and travel. Her favorite magazine is the National Geographic.
She still likes domestic life and likes to sew and do light housekeeping. Wanting to be as independent as she can be and do things for herself, she makes up her bed and dusts, and keeps her room at Skylyn neat and clean. This was up until recently when she had to move in with her grandson and his wife Lisa because of her declining health.
She likes her role as "Mother", and" Grandmother" to five grandchildren, and fourteen great grandchildren. We all love her very much. HANG IN THERE LOLA!
