Leola was more than just my cousin Arlene Bolden’s best friend. She was like a sister to her for many years. Losing such an extraordinary person is truly heartbreaking; if you knew one, you knew the other. Arlene passed away in December, and now Leola has also left us. These two remarkable women have moved on to a better place in Heaven. Rest in peace, dear friends. 🙏🏽❤️🙏🏽 May God wrap His arms around the entire family. Peace and blessings. The Israel family 🌹

Mom will be Missed, soooo glad I was Blessed to visit her at Southpointe Hosp. actually a few days before her departure. I sat and talked with her about her plans to go live with Joe’s Family[smiling as she talked abt discharging to their home]. Also, she was pleased w/ the care from the staff there so I was content with what the future was to hold. Yet, a Greater plan was in play for her to Arrive in GOD’s Comforting Arms. Rest Peacefully, Mom[Bonus/Adopted in our Hearts Mom of Alayna & Freddie Middlebrooks,] Solace requested as Grieving is accomplished for You ALL to Live that FULL/BESTEST Life she’d Desire for You. Loves[Love x Infinity x Zillions] You All
