I worked for Lois Copple and her family at the Whylie Eye Care Center in the Skywalk location in the 80's and have always admired her leadership style. Lois was a real role model for all those women she employed and lead us by example time and time again. Clayton, Vincent and Casey you can all be so very proud of your mother and who she was. God bless all of you in your time of sorrow.
