My husband and I loved Lois. She was a great friend to my mom (Patricia Joan Tumber Loraine Reid) who lived in the same building as she did. We would take my mom and Lois a couple a times a year to the apple farm near Ravenna (Collingwood area). Sometimes we would stop for a picnic in a park next to Georgian Bay. She was always full of life and she always got the jokes Norm told. She joined us for special events at the house and then the apartment and she loved Christmas Fruitcake. I will always remember her. She is probably now frolicking with my mom in heaven. I think she was the best friend my mom ever had. Cheers to her!
