Dear Aunt Lela. Just saying her name makes me smile. Our paths only crossed every once in awhile, but I have memories going way back. It’s funny reading all the stories about treats because in my earliest memory of going to Aunt Lela’s house I got to have a real Coke…in a Star Wars cup. Not diet and out of a bottle. So cool. When I was done, she offered me another. She won me over for life right there! I will really miss seeing her together with her sisters. Such a joy. Gwen drew her in a picture of all the family the other day. Caught me off guard and made me cry, then smile. All our love.##imported-begin##Jennifer McIntosh##imported-end##

I will always cherish memories of the aunts and uncles gathering so often in Hayward, and the cousins hanging out and sleeping over. We were so fortunate to be surrounded by so much love! I’ll always remember our East coast trip with such fun memory. In the golden years, Fridays in Livermore at Sandy’s table, and the aunties doing crafts, or eating, or just telling us old stories and then singing hymns at the piano are priceless to me. I’ll miss you in this world Auntie, but will see you again in the next and better place!##imported-begin##Joyce##imported-end##

I have many fond memories of my AuntieLela. She was very special to me.She letme learn to cook in her kitchen and I was messy but she laughed a lot. Onememory was when my cousin Sharon & I were at Aunt Lela’s & we found a whole bag of suckers & we went into the bedroom & shut the door so no one could come in & we ate the WHOLE bag of suckers & we put the sticks under the carpet as we figured that Auntie Lela would never find them. She never said anything about it but now we look back & laugh.I think Aunt Lela laughed a lot also. I told Aunt Lela about it years later and she laughed it off. Aunt Lela is with Jesus and my Uncle Johnny walking the golden streets of Heaven. I will see them again someday.##imported-begin##Jim and Anne Little##imported-end##

so many fond memories of growing up in the bay area with all my cousins and aunts. We spent many nights at Aunt Lelas while adults played cards. We always knew Aunt Lela would have treats we didn’t get at home. We would anxiously await for Aunt Lela to say the word. Sometimes we were already tucked away in our sleeping bags on living room floor. Aunt Lela always kept a candy dish in living room full of candy. Sometimes it would prove too much a temptation and one of us would try to sneak a treat. I can still hear Aunt Lela say “who’s in that candy dish”? “busted” Its been hard knowing someone who was so much a part of my life is gone & will miss her dearly. Thank you for the memories Aunt Lela love##imported-begin##Sharon Lawrence##imported-end##
