Lois was my Grandma, and I loved her so much! I have very many memories of her, including when she would call all of us on our birthdays and sing to us; I am going to miss that! Also, we used to go to her house and make holiday cards; she had all types of stickers and paper! it was so much fun! I will always be thinking of her, and I know she is in a better place now. I love you, Grandma!
