Dear Carduff Family and cousin, Carol. My deepest sympathies on your great loss. I remember Lois from way back - starting with our Jefferson School Days with Miss Krom (Elizabeth) as one of my teachers. All three Krom ladies were just that - fine ladies. The J.W. Cooper Alumni will miss Lois as she was an active member of the association and her Class of 1960. I'm grateful we all had the opportunity to see Lois at the last Super Cooper reunion. She smiled at everyone. Rest in Peace, Lois. You'll be missed.

Dear Carduff Family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I truly do believe that sometimes things happen for a reason and that your Mom and Dad will be happy that they will finally be together. It is not always easy for the families that can no longer have them but time will heal and life goes on.

Frank, Barb & Carduff Family, I am sorry for your loss. I worked with Lois many years ago at Martin's Shirt Factory. She was a happy go lucky person, so full of life with a heart full of gold. You have my deepest empathy. It is very tragic to lose two people so close together. I am not just saying this, I know through personal experience time does help to heal. Keeping you all in my prayers and close to my heart. Deepest Heartfelt Sympathy,
