One of my favorite cousin and class mates have gone to be with the Lord. I truly will miss her sweet attitude and smile. Due to the coronavirus I could not be with you, my
family and friends at this sad time. Eola truly loved our classmates and we really loved her. She bought joy to so many peoples lives. Her Godly spirit was infectious,and that is what we shall always remember. I really believe she is in Glory, a place we should all aspire to go.
