Not sure what to say?

Lois and I had such good times traveling to Florida, Alabama, and Mexico. Time changes some things, but memories are with us forever. I am so glad my sister Susie introduced us. You all had a great mom and we had a great friend.

Mark & Family,

I am so sorry to hear about the loss of your mom. Our thoughts and prayers are with you and your

Thinking of the family, sorry for your loss. Larry and Lois were good friends of mine. Though I haven’t seen Lois for a few years she will be missed!

I enjoyed working with Lois through many amazing years. TIP angel

I worked with Lois at Alliant Energy. It was always a joy to see her. Always had a smile and kind words. Sympathies to her family.

I will always remember Lois for her sweet demeanor and kindness. We had shared sports parents time with Mark and my daughter Kelly as well as when Jeff was our paper carrier. Then we had shared background as we were both from North English where I knew her parents, her siblings and her,and we all went to church together. She will definitely be missed.

I was saddened to read of Lois passing but feel fortunate to have known her with time spent at St. Patrick’s in Cedar Rapids during our fish fry preps and other activities she was involved in. Our conversations always included family talk and her love of time spent with them. She was a kind, soft spoken, nice lady. Rest in peace Lois and my prayers for her family and friends.

My sincere sympathy to the family with the passing of Lois. I have known Lois since I moved to North English in 7th grade. We were long time friends and classmates and enjoyed many slumber parties together during our school years. In the last couple of years, Jeri, Linda (McArtor) Schulte, Lois and I got together for lunch in Palo. We had such a good time. I am also a first cousin to Jim's wife, Sandra. May you have the fondest of memories, as do I.

My deepest sympathy to Lois's family. She's at peace now with her beloved Larry. She was a wonderful, beautiful lady. Fellow North English friend ( Jeri's sister)
