We are so sad to learn of Lois' passing. Her vitality and courage made off of us stronger. We traveled together to Israel and the success of the trip was due to her able leadership and love of Israel. Our deepest sympathy to her family at this sad time.

Lois - you were such a great lady. I will always remember swimming at your house when I was younger. I'm so glad you were able to come to Las Vegas for my wedding, it meant so much to me. You will always be remembered. - Sidra

Lois was part of our family for many years. Her friendship to my mother and father, Abe and Charlotte will always be cherished. I will miss seeing her in Florida but she will now rest in peace with my mother. Her courage will be an inspirationn to all.

As Abbey and Saul Rasnicks sister, I have had many occasions to be with Lois in the last 40+ years. Lois was an all around great girl and I am sure she will be missed by many people. I have never met anyone who has had as much courage as Lois. In the years of her illness she never stopped to complain and her drive to go on with her life was to be commended. Lois had a great time with us in Las Vegas and we sure enjoyed having her visit.
