As most of you know by now the Homegoing Services for Evangeline "Mama" Cole are being prepared for Tuesday, November 15th. However, I have just been informed 
by the family, for reasons beyond their control, that there is a need 
for monetary assistance at this time. While the cost involved are 
modest, the fact that we are all facing some difficult economic times, 
the family is requesting any donation amount be dropped off on Monday, 
November 14th, at the Funeral Home.

Your support will assist in finishing the financial obligations 
required for completing the preparations for Mama Cole. If you are able 
to make a donation, please do so as follows:
