I had the honor and pleasure of caring for Lois for the past 15 months!
She had a great sense of humor!
Always had a smile on her face and had the most beautiful blue eyes!
She was MY girl!
She loved her family deeply and sure got a kick out of the "little boys" as she called them!
I will miss her and her love for desserts!
Rest in peace Soldier!
