I remember Lola's love of animals, and how attractive and chic she was. I really admired her. I feel a part of my life has departed with her. She was the first friend I made in Larchmont way back when our sons were two-year-old toddlers. We often got together going to the beach, to Bloomingdale's, Shrafts, the park, playground, wherever around Westchester. Besides her friendliness and flair, I was impressed with her large vocabulary and her passion for justice and animals. She had a great sense of humor as well and I can still hear her enthusiastic laugh, followed by her pet phrase, "Shirley, did you ever. . . ?" She was a good and caring friend, inviting me to celebrate birthdays and the holidays, and looking out for me when I was going through a divorce.—Shirley Stratton
