Dave, Sal, Sherry and Linda, I'm so sorry to hear of your mom's passing. It's been over half a century but most days of the week, I enjoy a memory of your mom and her kindness to every kid on the south end of Burnham Street: she let me help her gut chickens once, after your dad had chopped off their heads. (my first ever experience with an egg with no shell) We rode your dad's truck and 'helped' put the hay in the barn, we slopped the pigs and fed apples to horses. We played amongst the cowpats and ran around the property. I sat in her kitchen and watched Blackie the lab chew Tom the cat's head, with affection. Lola taught me about cluster flies (pour boiling water on them) and morning glories. She also taught me how to stand up and fight for kids who were having a hard time. She was the greatest, and will be greatly missed.

One of the finest Ladies since my Mom was buried today. The burial was beneath cloudy rainy skies. Not a downpour but nevertheless rain. Umbrellas were up. Warm clothing to ward off the chill. “Dress for the weather “ Lola would say. "There was an overwhelming love for Lola. Family, relatives, & friends attended. Tears flowed for a Mother so loved. Prayers said by the Anglican Minister as the owner of the funeral home humbly held a small umbrella over him. Ashes spread. More prayers. A eulogy by a loving daughter. Then the final blessing. Memories shared. Anyone here Lola say “ I have a hankering...” Embraces with friends and loved ones. tears and hugs Chating. Lola was still standing amongst us. "I don't know about the rest of you. But I'm getting wet and cold. See you in the car." Dearest Lady, you left us too soon. We know you were at peace and that's all we can ask. Ted was there to welcome you. You taught us what unconditional love as you stood by your Man. Your Companion, to the end. “ Until we meet again. “ Hey Lola; it’s your turn to pour the tea.”

To the Turpin family, sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. She and your Dad were always so kind and welcoming to the hordes of kids from Burnham St. South. The farm in the 1950's and 60's was my second home. Cow pasture "Move ups", BB-guns, hanging out in the barns and fields, all the way down to the lake. We sort of got to grow up on a farm without having to get up early to do the chores. Both your Mom and Dad are remembered fondly.
Dear Sherry, Sally, David and Linda, I have fond memories of your beloved Mom during my growing up years on Burnham street. Please accept my heartfelt condolences. Love Roz Mitchell

David, Sally, Sherry and Linda Just wanted to reach out and let you know you have my heartfelt condolences. I am sorry beyond words for the loss of your Mom. Lola was a special lady who loved her family. You are in my thoughts and prayers at this difficult time.
David, Sally, Sherry, Linda and families. Please accept our heartfelt condolences at the sad passing of your Mom, Mother-in-law and Grandma. To us she was more then just Aunt Lola, one of Dad's sisters. She was apart of my life in my late teens as we worked together at the Dominion store but she also became a little more special to me as I started to chum around with Sally, become good friends and hang out at the Turpin house! Please know that she was much loved by not just her immediate family but those of us in her extended family. Find peace in your hearts knowing she had a happy life. She will once again be with others that have loved her. May she rest in peace. Love to all Judy
