I only met Lois once but felt like I knew her well. Upon meeting her, I was happy to know that she had a happy life after the traggic death of her parents. She was a beautiful child. She was a lost little girl until she met your father.
The Lord truely blessed her. My thoughts and prayers are with the family through this most difficult time.

I will always remember Lois as God loving, kind, sweet, soft-spoken, very fashionable, very impressionable (to a then very young teenager) and a beautiful pianist. What a treasure!
With love,

May the Lord hold you 3 girls in his care as you grieve your mother's passing but knowing she is with Jesus makes it all sweeter. I will never forget Lois and how she always had us kids stand in her house when it was cold to wait on the bus.
