Lol (said L-O-L or lol) is the short Version of Laughing Out Loud. People often use lel or lul, but that is completly wrong. It's used for someone who has no Humor or for texts. So please explain it to your mother Gary...
Gary looks up to his phone. His Ma is calling.
Mother: Your aunt just passed away. LOL. She will be greatly missed.
Gary: WTF Mom??? Why is it funny???
Mother: It's not funny Gary, what do you mean?
Gary: Mom, LOL means laughing out loud...
Mother: Oh no! I thought it meant Lots Of Love! I gotta call everyone back!
Gary: Not again...
Mother: Your aunt just passed away. LOL. She will be greatly missed.

Get the Lolmug. 
A way of expressing lots of love to a deceased person. It is short for lots of love. If you say this to someone who is not dead yet it means you wish they were dead but you would also be sad for them.

Get the Lolmug. A lolcat using "LOL"
LOL or lol, an acronym for laugh(ing) out loud or lots of laughs, is a popular element of Internet slang. It was first used almost exclusively on Usenet but has since become widespread in other forms of computer-mediated communication and even face-to-face communication. It is one of many initialisms for expressing bodily reactions, in particular, laughter, as text, including initialisms for more emphatic expressions of laughter such as LMAO7 ("laugh(ing) my ass off") and ROFL (or its older form ROTFL; "roll(ing) on the floor laughing"). Other unrelated expansions include the now mostly obsolete "lots of luck" or "lots of love" used in letter-writing.
The list of acronyms "grows by the month" and they are collected along with emoticons and smileys into folk dictionaries that are circulated informally amongst users of Usenet, IRC, and other forms of (textual) computer-mediated communication. These initialisms are controversial, and several authors recommend against their use, either in general or in specific contexts such as business communications.
LOL was first documented in the Oxford English Dictionary in March 2011.
