 The year 2018 was marred by the passing of Nerie's mother Nicolasa at age 86. She had suffered a fall at home, was rushed to hospital in Badian and subsequently to UCMed hospital in the City. There she passed away in intensive care on 5th May which was, as fate would have it, Nerie's birthday. |
 The funeral saw the gathering from across the globe of all eight of Lola's children, the first time for many years. Left to right are Feddie, Tessie, Jourie, Nerie (United Kingdom), Bhoy, Annie, Josie (New Caledonia) and Rhomy (Canada). |
