Driving in a funeral procession. It's important to follow certain etiquette and rules to ensure the safety and respect of the procession. Here are some guidelines to keep in mind:

Turn on your headlights and emergency flashers: This helps identify your vehicle as part of the funeral procession to other drivers on the road.

Maintain a safe but close distance to the car in front of you: Keep a reasonable gap to avoid crowding but stay close enough to maintain the procession's integrity.

NEVER let any car pass in front of your car through the procession at ANYTIME: It's essential to maintain the order and integrity of the procession. Do not allow other vehicles to cut in.

Always allow the immediate family to be closest to the funeral car: Immediate family members typically follow the hearse, so be sure to yield this position to them.

Obey all instructions from the police escorts and funeral home staff: Follow the directions of law enforcement or funeral professionals who may be guiding the procession through intersections or traffic.

By adhering to these guidelines, you can help ensure a safe and respectful procession, allowing family and friends to mourn their loved one without unnecessary disruptions. See less

In today's digital age, it's crucial to include online accounts and social media profiles in your estate planning. Consider the following:
Designate a Legacy Contact for your Facebook account to manage your profile after your passing.
Provide instructions for your digital assets, including social media accounts, in your estate plan.
Understand the options for memorializing or deleting accounts on platforms like Facebook and Instagram.

With Facebook, estate planning means designating a Legacy Contact. In other words, you tell Facebook who should manage your account after your death (often a spouse, close friend, or family member). The Legacy Contact can monitor your profile by deleting or memorializing the account, accepting friend requests, pinning tribute posts, updating profile and cover photos, and more. However, a Legacy Contact cannot log in to the account to view private messages or remove past posts, photos, or friends.

Currently, you can only add a Facebook friend as a Legacy Contact. When you select a Legacy Contact, Facebook gives you the option to notify that person right away, which is recommended so that person is in the know about your wishes. To learn how to add a Legacy Contact, go to How Do I Manage a Memorialized Profile on Facebook? for some helpful tips.https://www.facebook.com/help/1070665206293088

Bobby Angelia “LaLa” Parker Robinson
February 23, 1957-August 15, 2025

Bobby Angelia “LaLa” Parker Robinson, 68, of Dothan, Alabama, passed away on August 15, 2025.

Raised and loved by her grandparents, Carl & Annie Mae Little, Angelia learned early that real family is chosen by love, not blood. Her life was marked by challenges no one should endure — her mother’s mental illness, a father who walked away, and an ex-husband who never rose to the role of father to their daughters, DeeAnn, Erin, and Jess.

Despite family abandonment and mistreatment, Angelia never lost her hopeful heart or her unwavering faith in God. She remained fiercely loyal to those she truly loved. She adored her grandchildren — Jacob, son of DeeAnn and Lane, and Elijah, son of Erin — her pride, joy, and reason to keep going.

Special thanks to her “true blue” friend Sandy Norwood and family friend Patti Blissette, who proved loyalty is shown through action.

To those who ignored her pain, minimized her worth, or only appeared when convenient: this is not your victory lap. You don’t get to rewrite her story.

Rest now, LaLa. The ones who loved you will remember. The rest can remember what they did.
