So sorry to hear of the passing of Lula, she was one of my mother, Thelma Coy's, dearest friends and was a significant person in memories of my own mother, whom she called P.T. ... I remember that on many a New Years, Lula would come over to my parents' house and make a pot of chitterlings for my mother's, birthday (not my thing),
but it was a once a year treat for my mother and part of her celebration. There were many nights when they and other friends paired up over a deck of cards, (bid whist or pinochle). The two women loved to dress up, perfume up and go out to play bingo together when the demands of work permitted. This was serious business, as they both wanted to take home some winnings. They shared a great friendship... I know how much Lula loved her family and I hope her memory will sustain you all, in the years ahead.
My Condolences,
Crystal Coy-Gonfa
