I was so very saddened to hear that Lois has gained her Angel wings. We have fond memories of Lois, Bud and all the children back in the 60’s and 70’s. Lois was my moms best friend, Hazel Marie Perry Ball! Her, Lois and Louise were the best of friends growing up and I use to love to hear my moms stories of their teenage years. I know my mom is so very sad knowing she lost one of her childhood sisters. These were some of the best folks you could ever meet and know. May God bless her family always! Lois, it’s not goodbye, it’s later our Angel! Tell Bud and Johnny and Eugene Melton hello and all of our loved ones! Lois, you were lived on this earth!❤❤
