Lois was a class of her own.
Her life was her husband Fred, and her children. She was full of mischief and wonder at life itself. She tried s`mores for the first time this past summer with me , and gave me fishing tips to catch the big one! She always had a smile and a football joke for me.
She always made me feel welcomed and happy.
She also taught me about good music and Ole` Buttermilk Skies
Lois's passing is a loss to us all.
My familiy and myself will never forget her .
We enjoyed every minute at camp with Lois, Fred, Diane , Dave, Scott, and David.
And truely felt a bond with her and her family.
She was very very special to all of us and will be deeply missed.
We Loved Her.
