Dear Craig, Tim, Audrey and Sylvia,
I was very sorry to hear about your loss, but am sure that she rests in the arms of our Lord. She was a very kind and generous lady and I remember her always with a smile. You are in my prayers.

Dear Craig, Ann, Tim, Diane, Sylvia, Don, Audrey, Robert, Kathi and extended Family and Friends. Lois was so very special, and unique in many ways. She loved laughter and to share it with everyone. Her lovely blue eyes sparkled, along with her happy smile. Family meant everything to Lois, and her beloved Vern would be so proud of their fine sons she raised, Craig and Tim. She was kind, thoughtful, giving, and her legacy is friendship. Her strong faith in the Lord was present when she felt death coming. Lois dealt with it in a calm and courageous way. I know His angels welcomed her beautiful voice into their heavenly choir. We will all miss her and she will remain in our hearts forever. I share this poem that she gave to me a long time ago.
Because I love you,
I can look at life with clearer eyes, and face tomorrow with a brave heart, and hold my chin up with a brand new hope, and know that I must finish things I start.
Because I love you,
Everything's more beautiful as Season's come and go.
May God bless you and comfort you. Love, Ernie and Mary Lou
