I am so sorry about Lois. Walter was related to one of my parents (don't have my family tree data with me to recall which). I was updating my Dad's (Charlie Mueller) address book (my mom Lenore died in February) & by chance looked up Lois (I knew Wally had died) and found her obituary. It so surprised me! I remember going to Lois & Wally's wedding as a young woman (I think the relatives all hoped I'd find a good young man there! ). I am truly sorry. Please contact me if you wish to catch up--I could probably use some updates as well for my family tree. Thank you.
