I worked with Lois at Bon Secours Hospital and we remained friends for all of the years afterward. She had such a wonderful spirit, great memory and beautiful sense of humor. I know she and her wonderful husband Herb are enjoying their eternal peace and happiness. Sending prayers for comfort and beautiful memories to her family whom she loved so much.
