Uncle Dennis, Aunt Patty, Lisa, Virgil, Dennis, Sarah and the Giles Family, we are so sorry for your loss. Lola was like family to us. Every time we saw her, she had a smile on her face and always made sure she said Hi and asked how we were! She will be missed greatly by all who knew her. Love you all.
Bev and Mike,
Sorry to hear of your loss. My deepest sympathy to you and your family.
Dearest Bev, Mike, Dennis, Patty, Jennifer and Bridgett may you feel my arms around you. You all have been so strong and loving as you cared for your Mom. You helped her to keep strong in her battle with pain. My heart will feel the absence of Lola here. But I know that she has gone on getting ready to meet us again one day wearing her crown of many stars. I love you all.
God bless you.

Rest in peace Lola……….you have done so much for others and it will not be forgotten. You now have your angel wings………….
Lola you were always there when one of us kids got hurt to heal our wounds no matter how big or small. I can remember being at your house and helping on the farm many a day.
God Be with the family
I will always remember you.
Saying goodbye to one of the bravest women I’ve ever known. She suffered so much loss, and sacrificed much in her life, yet was a woman of grace. Her love for her family was so evident! I cry tears of joy envisioning the sweet reunion with her husband and two of her children. I am in awe envisioning the moment she saw Jesus face to face. I know I heard Him say, “well done, my good and faithful servant!” Aunt Lola, we will all miss you! See you later!
Aunt Lola was one of the kindess souls I have ever know. She will be missed!
Condolences to the family. I remember her well from my time at Willard Hospital. I started as a Candy Striper then a Nursing Assistant. I later became a nurse but did not work as such at Willard Hospital. I was friends with Janelle before her death, and Mrs Giles was always nice to me and had a smile on her face everytime I saw her. I am sure she will be greatly missed.
Our deepest sympathy to the family. Lola was a very sweet woman and will be missed by all whose lives she touched. Kevin and Joni Kousma Polachek
