Lola Belen,
is a centenarian.
She turned a century recently.
Born during the first world war,
A young mother  during world war 2.

A wife, mother, 
grandmother and greatgrandmother.

A teacher all her life.
She taught physics, math, spanish and filipino.

A savvy world traveler.
She strolled Dubrovnik, Prague and Cestokowa.
She cruised the Carribean and Alaska.
She knows what sweet dreams are made of....
She has travelled the world and the seven seas.

A devout church volunteer.
She sews scapulars, strings rosaries...
She served at  health clinics,
dispensing medicines to the disadvantaged.

thank you for all the love...
A loyal friend,
A true mentor.
She generously gives of herself-
her time,
her energy,
her treasures, 
and most of all,
her LOVE.




We love you, LOLA BELEN!!!

Lola Belen, joyfully joined her creator in early April of this year.
