Not sure what to say?

I had such fond memories of Lois while working with her many years ago. I was not surprised but saddened when I found her obituary in a search for her. She left a memorable impression on me as a kind lady (always a lady) and compassionate person. RIP Lois and thank you for the lasting memories.

I worked with Lois at L.W. Robbins. I was a young writer, yet she saw enough potential to hire me over more qualified copywriters. She was a wonderful person and mentor, guiding me through the ins and outs of agency life with humor and compassion. Lois is one of the reasons I became and remain a successful professional writer today. To Irwin and the rest of her family, may her memory be as for a blessing.

So many wonderful memories were made at the Mirsky home while growing up next door. Every once in a while, Mrs. Mirsky would lock herself out of the house and I’d help her by climbing thru the window. My reward was fruit on the bottom yogurt and the most wonderful visit at her table. She was truly kind and had a way of making me feel special. I’ll continue to think of her every time I have yogurt. Blessings to all her friends and family. May she Rest In Peace.

What a fantastic tribute to a phenomenal woman. Lois always made a person feel special with her beautiful smile and caring attitude. She loved her family and her neighbors. She will be missed, but she has a
loving husband and family who will keep her alive in their thoughts and
prayers. We are truly sorry and wanted all of you to know that she made an impression on our family of Paul and Betty Holzman.

Your mom was always so warm and welcoming. I remember her with a beautiful smile, happy to see us, running through her yard. I remember spying on the wonderful events in the backyard, her sisters wedding, and I think it was Peter’s bar mitzvah party. I think it gave her joy. She never minded the extra kids hanging around her house. I remember my mom thought so highly of her! I’m sorry for your loss.

I am deeply saddened to hear of Lois' passing. She and I worked together on many projects, she as the writer and me as the designer. She was truly a lady, sensitive and caring and wonderful to work with. My sympathies to Irwin, particularly for having to see his beloved wife struggle with the disorder that finally took her. May Lois rest in peace.
