Lulu was more than a friend in our Family. She stood in as a Mother, a Grandma, and an aunt to us. From those of us who had the privilege of having Lulu raise us, scold us, and encourage us, We’re eternally grateful to have such an amazing person be a part of our family. We are forever grateful.

Lulu you were Loved!
