Lola’s Letters


This book is a collection of heart-to-heart correspondences to Lola’s son Samuel McGee from the McGee household, and his friends during the Korean War. The intent of the writings was to keep family ties drawn tight and keep Sammie abreast of the happenings at home. They give a glimpse into the struggles and successes of the McGees after their 1946 migration from the South. These letters were kept by Lola, and stored among her most prized possessions.

Author Information...

Brenda Kellam Cusack & Barbara Kellam OllarviaBrenda Kellam Cusack Lola’s oldest granddaughter lives on the site of her grandparents’ home in White City, Hamilton Township, New Jersey. Brenda shared many memorable times with her grandmother. They traveled together, “going way back” to Lola’s memories of Richland, Georgia. Brenda discovered her grandmother to be very creative, with a hidden talent for playing the piano. Lola had a reputation for writing motivational poetry and small speeches for family members and friends to recite at church. Like Lola, Brenda enjoys motivating others through her full time Christian ministry. Brenda is a minister at the Baptist church where Lola served as a deaconess for many years. Barbara (Bobbie) Kellam Ollarvia’s memories of growing up as part of the first generation of McGees born in New Jersey are vivid. She uses the term “Homespun Grit” to describe the essence of her grandmother’s inspiration to her children and grandchildren. Homespun reflects the down-to-earth manner in which soft-spoken Lola lovingly guided her family. Lola’s grit, determination to move forward in spite of life’s challenges, continues to be a source of encouragement. Barbara, a cancer survivor, credits Lola for helping her and many others find strength, wisdom & guidance through prayer. Lola’s life reflected her love for God and her resolve to “hold unto His hand through rain and (sun) shine.”
