No patience for pretense, scalpel sharp feminine insight for detecting concealed motives, quick wit, and above all the mind-eye of a true artist, Lois's delightful persona will always be crystal clear in my memory. Goodbye dear Lois. Heartfelt sympathy, Ted.

Dear Ted,
we haven't met in person, but for years we've been in contact via the internet, across the ocean, about family, values and our art. You've become a cherished friend who's shared his wisdom with Mireille and me. Now we both wish to thank you and Lois for your love, and we wish to hug you in your sorrow. Love, Karl and Mireille

An Irish toast for Lois Knerr

Dear Ted, Dara, Amanda, Julia.
Sorry to hear Lois has passed on. I remember Lois had the political acumen of Tip O'Neil and the repartee timing of Bette Davis. A formidable arsenal in any conversation. My heartfelt sorrow, love Michael Murphy
