Grandma Lois,
You are so very missed. I know that you are in a better and peaceful place without pain. I will always remember how kind you were and the courage you had. I loved hearing the stories as they have stayed with me. Your cards always brought a smile to my face stating "I don't go "malling" anymore". You always had such a positive outlook. It is because of you and your family that my heart is filled with much love. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to be a part of your life. You are in my heart. I love and miss you♡
