Wes...

I am so sad to hear that Lois passed away. She was a wonderful person...Lois was a good friend to me when I lived in Cranberry.

She was especially helpful to me when I was attending college. I did not know how to type, and we did not have computers then...so I will always be thankful to her for typing my college research papers.

My thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. May God comfort you.

Dear Wes, I was so sorry to hear the sad news about Lois. Unfortunately I did not find out until too late to attend the visitation. The two of you were so close. I can still remember pleasant talks we had at NASH when you would literally beam while speaking of your lovely wife. You have my deepest sympathies, Carol Pysch
