Celebrate Life!

Lola Meding, my maternal grandma was resplendent in her pink gown. She looked every inch the loving and warm-hearted Lola we knew all our lives. Gathering almost a hundred guests in Casino Espanol, for a night of feasting, singing, dancing and talking about the good old days, was a fitting tribute to our grand matriarch.

At 91 years old, she has lived and continues to live a full life raising 2 daughters, 6 grandchildren and 11 great grandchildren (I hope I got my numbers right).

Happy birthday Lola Meding! We dearly love you!

    I was watching the video presentation on Lola Meding and I felt that she really touched the lives of her "apos" because of her heart, her love and her attention...I hope that everyday for the rest of my life I get to touch the lives of my loved one's. :)
