I was just informed today of Lois' passing, and was very sorry to hear this. She and her husband, Frank, and son Tom (I don't think Vickie was born yet) were our next door neighbors to the north when our family moved onto Woodman Dr. in October,1954. And my mother, Jeanne Neyhouse, lived on Woodman Dr. until 2011, when she passed away. The Siekierka's were always good neighbors and I remember them fondly. I visited Lois at her home about a year ago, and we had a good time chatting and catching up a bit. Tom and Vickie and family, I am very sorry for your loss.

Sincerely,
Barbara Neyhouse
