Dear Family Members,
We got to know Lois through the Butler County Dialysis Center. My husband is a patient there. Lois was an extremely wonderful lady! She was so sweet and nice to talk with while waiting for my husband to come out from his treatment. Lois and I both loved animals and especially cats. I sure hope her cat will be well taken care of and find a loving and suitable home. She loved her cat. Lois was a Christian and her life surely shined! All of the families and friends at the dialysis center will truly miss her! To her family and close friends, you have our deepest sympathies and prayers. God Bless You All.

Dear Family Members,
I met Lois at the Butler County Dialysis Center where my Dad is a patient. She was a dynamic lady! She was always so friendly, pleasant, and courteous. My Mom and I would chat with her when she came out after her treatments. I really enjoyed chatting with her and getting to know her. She was truly a lovely lady. My sincere sympathies to all of her family and friends. May God grant you all comfort, peace, and strength now and in the days to come. God Bless.
