2 Condolences
My thoughts and prayers are with your family. I am so happy that I got to spend some time with Iola recently. I also remember coming to the house when I was a little girl and being amazed at the sight of all of her birds. She has left an imprint in so many hearts.
Lorna,
Our deepest sympathy is with you and other family members in the loss of Miss Iola. May God’s grace be with you as as you mourn her passing. We will continue to remember you in our prayers and will be thinking of you during this difficult time.
