I've known Lois since our early days at GSA in the 70's, as did my husband, Don, and our friendship continued to this day. I remember with particular fondness a trip we made to Las Vegas many years ago. Of course, Lois ended up a winner though I can't say the same for us. I am certain that she and Don have already met at that grand casino in the sky and are having a great time.

Lois was truly one of a kind and much loved. She will be greatly missed. My sincerest sympathies to her family. May your memories bring you peace and contentment.

I worked with Lois at GSA for many years and we remained friends ever since. I spoke with her during her latest illness, and she was always so optimistic -- just Lois! We lunched together almost every day for several years and I grew to know and love her. I shall miss her so. May she rest in peace, and may God grant comfort to her family; we know she will leave a great void in their lives. She loved her family so.

I worked with Lois at GSA and she truly was not only a co-worker but a friend as well. Lois was caring and funny and had an amazing sense of humor. She will truly be missed. I am glad I had the opportunity to know her. She truly influenced my career path. May her light continue to shine on all and comfort you at this difficult time. My Sincere Sympathies, Linda
