I was there when that wonderful creature drifted into my life and I was there when she drifted out. It was the most precious moment of my life." ---M'Lynn Steel Magnolias
"I have seen, heard and felt every bit of your love (sic)."
The obituary read: "Dorien “Lala” Thomaz, age 32, passed away peacefully with her Mother by her side on February 20, 2017.
"Lala was born on October 31, 1984 to Peachie and Laurence.
"Dear sibling of Cameron Thomaz and half sister Lauren Thomaz; also survived by grandparents, many aunts, uncles, and cousins (sic)."
