my sincere sympathy for the family of Lois. I worked with her at Dooley's many years ago and she was a fine woman , kind and soft hearted yet very real. She was my manager but she was an excellent one, not one you dreaded to see in the morning. She was fun and informative and shared her life with me and lessons...I was sad to see her leave Long Beach, but glad that she would be very happy with her family, in such a lovely place....sincerely, marilyn arvizo long beach CA.

To the Connor Family,

Dale and I wanted to offer our thoughts and prayers to the family in the loss of your Mom. I worked at Dooleys in the office for many years. Dale was your sisters Mariam first husband. You would have thought it to be difficult working with your husbands ex-mother in-law. Not so with Lois, She and I had a great friendship. I will always remember that million dollar smile. Growing up as a kid I remember going to Dooley's with my Dad for one of those world famous hot dogs. I am sure most residents of Long Beach remember those hot dogs.
Cherish all your memories.
In every way, we both wish the family comfort.
