Bob, I am so sorry and my prayers are with you and the family. I will never forget how Lois always volunteered to sit with my foster kids at church lunches when Crystal could not attend church in her final months. My heart is broken but hope will prevail because Lois is with the Lord now.

Dear Bob, Lisa, and family,

I was so sorry to hear of Lois' death. I'll always remember her kind and compassionate heart and the way she shared her many talents with others. She will be missed dearly by the entire community.
