I became Leola's sister in law many years ago, even after that divorce, she remained a steadfast friend and still 'sister'-in-law. She was a strong vibrant woman, wonderful mom, grandmother and wife to Tom. I pray for her family to have strength and know she is in a better place. She will be missed by so many.
