Dear children:
A note to express my sadness and sympathy at your Mothers passing.
She was one of my most cherished companions at our farm near Fort Plain,NY. When we were young. She was a most loved and loving person and I know will be always remembered.

Love

Dear Wen, and family, I am very sorry to hear of your sweet mom's passing. She and your dad were always so welcoming when we were in college, and after Tara was born. Those were sweet memories. Thank you for thinking of me, so that I too could share in remembering her, and to think of you, and your family. My parents are also both gone now. My mom passed away in August at 94. Love you, Wen.

to continue from Rodney Hinkle, cousin of Lois....We lived just a few blocks from each other and so I saw here when I played with her sister, Donna, who was a classmate of mine during my 12 year public school experience. Lois was always a positive and supportive friend and cousin and I wish we had lived closer to each other these past years during our retirements.

Lois in Amsterdam, New York . Every Sunday her family joined
my family returning to the Sand Flats outside Fonda,N.Y.
to our Grandmothers farm where we played games and had
fun. In Amsterdam we lived

I will always remember going next door with Sam to visit my good friend as Lois always called me. She always put a smile on my face and made my day better. I'll miss her smile and her eye rolls ❤ Rest In Peace ❤
