Sending love and prayers for the family and loved ones of Mrs. Lois. Until you reunite and rejoice in Heaven, may your many fond and loving memories provide you comfort. The body is merely a vessel with limited time on Earth; but, with His love, the soul remains gracefully infinite.

Mr. Russ, Tracie and Jeff,

I am deeply sorry to hear about Mrs. Lois. She was a wonderful woman who loved helping people. Life doesn't always make sense to us. The heartache of losing someone so close never completely fades and the memories that each of us were lucky enough to share with her are gentle reminders of how fragile life is. Try to keep your heart open and immerse yourself in the memories and she will always be close to your heart. I am grateful that she was a big part of my family's life growing up and my thoughts and prayers to all of you.
