Dear Debbie, Nancy and Family,

From our wonderful days in St. Louis to the great 4th of July parties at your home, I can't think of enough superlatives to write about dear Lol. When the Chicago Salty Dogs played at Fitzgerald's recently, Kim dedicated "Apex Blues" to Lol's memory - one of her favorite jazz tunes. We will all miss her.

Darling Lolly, beloved friend of many decades, there will be no-one like you again in my lifetime. I'm so glad I shared your friendship, your hospitality, your generous heart and cheerful spirit. Rest now in the comfort and gratitude of all of us who loved you. Ann

I will deeply miss you, Lollie. I loved your zest for life, and that you embraced it, in all it's fullness. Thank you for allowing me to share in your Christmas parties, and introducing me to 'Bumpernickel'...all of which created an atmosphere of great warmth and charm. It was as though I was stepping into a Norman Rockwell setting. God Bless your soul with joy and peace. I love you!! Amy Stuart Guido
